Will This App Help Atheists Talk to Believers?

For too long, the most outspoken non-believers have been antagonistic, bombastic, and sometimes profoundly embarrassing older white men. When they aren’t writing inflammatory books, these men interrupt people on talk shows and get into Twitter fights with teenagers. They model behaviors that seem to alienate their fellow non-believers as much, if not more so, than religious people.

There’s space for a more diplomatic approach. With that in mind, a new app called Atheos aims to help non-believers have friendly, thoughtful discussions with people of faith.
