If you’re a Christian deeply invested in theology and apologetics, you’ve probably encountered atheism—whether in personal conversations, online debates, or modern culture at large. But too often, Christians assume atheism is all about reason and evidence. And we assume zealous atheism is as popular as it once was. The reality is far more complex—and far more human.

In this video, theologian Brannon Ellis walks through five essential truths every Christian should understand when engaging with atheism or atheists today.

From the rise and fall of the “New Atheism” movement to the deeper heart issues that drive unbelief (both theoretical and practical), we’ll explore why atheism isn’t just a rational position. It’s a belief system built on borrowed capital, a heart condition that only the gospel can heal.
