I would say that atheists are usually a bit more jaded than agnostics, though there are certainly exceptions. Also, thing is, don't hunt for those to convert, for that is vanity and that does more harm than good. Just mingle and be happy and friendly, and if it comes up, share but respect their opinions, for God gave you the same free will as He gave them. He does not want anyone to be forced into His kingdom, though I doubt that is possible, for joy is found in choosing Him to be your Lord.

If you mean by "convert" some outside force exerting influence or pressure, probably an agnostic because at least he/she is open to the possibility whereas an atheist leaves no room for the existence of a higher power. But I don't think people get "converted"..I think something happens in their lives that changes them profoundly that would cause a switch from agnostic/atheist to Christian. :) It comes from within, not from outside the self. :)

Agnostic, Agnostics are uncertain so could be changed the other way... Is it easier to convert a Christian to Athiest or Agnostic? One is a state of uncertainty, so it easier to be that than than a more definate belief.

agnostic

Converting does not work. You should let people make up their own minds and Christianity has not been successful in converting people except through threats and lies because it is just not an easy religion to believe. However agnostic is probably easier because they are kind of undecided. Athiests already believe god does not exist and thats 2 steps really: Making them not know what to believe(agnostic) and then making them believe that Jesus was the Son of God. May I mention that I'm jewish and this might not all be relevant because I have kind of a bias against Jesus cause the way i was raised it makes believing in Jesus very hard

It's easier to mind one's own business and let others believe what they want to believe.

Probably an agnostic because they know enough about both to not want to be either.

Agnostic to answer the question.

Probably an agnostic. Atheists are possitive in their beliefs. Agnostics are sometimes not so sure, and may be open for discussion.

it would be easier to leave both groups alone and keep your practice accepting and available but don't actively engage in efforts of conversion. Unless you are willing to convert yourself to their beliefs.

Whichever one is more prone to believing in something without evidence and logic, honestly. Self-esteem will probably play a role. Converting anyone is simply trying to change their viewpoint to your own, and really shouldn't be tried (especially by those lacking evidence and proof). It is disrespectful and arrogant.

Well, an agnostic is open to the idea of God, so they are easier to get their, but they are wibbly wobbly and tend to say things like "But I'm perfectly happy the way I am!" and be resistant to change. Atheists are stubborn headed, even when you point out that the things they say make no sense, and will refuse to accept the POSSIBILITY that there is a God out there. However, if you can get through to them that you are making sense, they tend to come around pretty quickly, but Lord knows that's flipping impossible... so I guess I would say agnostic.

I would say an agnostic. I think they are more easily persuaded.

Or is it easier for a Christian to become agnostic or atheistic?

Based on the true definitions of the two terms, I would expect that each would be equally difficult to convert. However, since many people seem to think that to be agnostic means to take the stance of the middle ground, I suppose those people who call themselves agnostic would be easier to convert, since they lie closer to the theist extreme.

I just wish Christians would stop trying to convert. In fact, I shouldn't single them out. I think everyone should stop trying to convert. There are plenty of religions out there that don't convert and their membership is still on the rise. That is obviously proof that we've come to a time where people can look into the information themselves and consciously choose which religion is the best one for them.

Truth be told, what christians call "convert" someone has overwhelmingly become converting other christians into their own vision of christianity. Long are gone the romantic times of missionaries turning "wild people" into christians. Now it is the time of "born agains" and shifting allegiances. Going from one religion into another are notorious, but not the rule, unless the rule is a threat as it is the case of Islam. What is the fastest growing group regarding religion? Non believers. So, without huge financial enterprises, without organised preachers and evangelists, little by little, reason keeps growing along with education and the general improvement of life standards.

Not in the conversion business...and don't wanna be. I just wanna keep tryin' to live up to His reasonable expectations, myself. When my meter reads "Perfect", maybe I'll give a shot at atheists, agnostics and, oh, yeah, the hypocrits, not necessarily in that order.

An athiest. Most agnostics have their own beleifs and superstitions.

No, it's not but don't let the Christians know that or they'll go out and commit mass suicide

Interesting question. No way to know for sure, but I am going to guess atheist. The atheist is "sure" there is no God. The agnostic does not believe in God but leaves room for the possibility of the unknown. The total non-believer in my experience often becomes the biggest fanatic if a shred of belief ever invades their system. Most agnostics I know would reject the Christian concept of God even if they were convinced of a higher power. Part of the reason many are agnostic is because they already embraced or at least looked into Christianity and decided that God may exist but that Christianity was bullshit.

An agnostic might actually listen to you. An atheist shouldn't and most likely won't.

I'm an agnostic. Show me a god and you'll make a believer out of me.

Is it easier to convert an atheist or an agnostic to Christianity? We have two different subjects here, which will probably require two different approaches. In dealing with the Atheist you have a person who has at least the ability to reach a conclusion. The evidence they base their conclusion on may be faulty, but they are capable of reaching a decision. They claim to see no evidence of the existence of God. If such evidence can be found and presented to them in a way they can understand, then they may say that the truth of the arguments for atheism is faulty, and consider other possibilities. With Agnostics you have a several different kind of individuals. There are people that don’t want to make a decision. They are comfortable with ambiguity. A-Gnosis means without knowledge in Greek. In Latin the same word form becomes ignoramus. Some have this lack of knowledge because they claim they have not had the opportunity to examine any evidence. The truth of the matter frequently is that they never took advantage of the opportunity to look at it. It is notoriously difficult to deal with those who are willingly ignorant. Or as one creationist I have heard describe them as “stupid on purpose”. Others do not have the knowledge because they refuse to examine any evidence. If evidence for the existence of god were presented to them, they might have to make a decision. And that decision might make them uncomfortable with their current life choices. If a god exists, then perhaps he would have the right to determine things like right and wrong behavior. It is better to remain ignorant and do as you will. Some are simply unwilling to commit to the certainty of being atheist. They are “hedging their bets”. Maybe there is a god, and maybe there isn’t. And if I can’t tell then I can’t be blamed for any choices I make. I get to decide what is right and wrong for me. You have your truth, and I have mine. And there is no such thing as a universal truth. But for both atheist and agnostics one thing seems to hold true. The idea that a god could be watching and (horrors) judging our actions is unacceptable. That he might even decide that having sex with whom or what ever you are is wrong is just unacceptable to them. Now don’t get me wrong. There are plenty of Christians that engage in wrong behavior. This is a common condition of all humanity. It is called Sin. And it is the dealing with this condition that Christians have a unique circumstance in the religions of the world. Buddha is dead. Confucius is dead. Mohammed is dead. Abraham is dead. Moses is dead. The founders of all the great religions, with the exception of Jesus are dead. the followers of Christ uniquely claim that Jesus still is alive. We have more evidence of the existence of Jesus than of any other person in antiquity. We have more documents, more documents that were produced closer to his time, more non biblical and historic records of him and his followers than for any other contemporaneous person in antiquity. We have copies of manuscripts that if not the originals were one or two generations away from the originals. We have historic records from the Romans of Christians being exiled from Rome within 20 years of Christ’s death (27-33 AD), by Emperor Claudius. (reigned 41-54 AD). And how reasonable would it be for a religion that started in some backwater part of the empire, based on some one that didn’t exist, rise to become sufficient a problem that the emperor has to exile them from the capitol of the world. There are a lot more proofs that could be shown, and if you want I will go through more of them. But I think that many here would rather just remain ingnorant.

It's easier to know Jesus than to know nothing. Ignorance leads to frustration. Jesus leads to answers. The world has more questions than answers. So simple a child can understand it ...to those such as these the kingdom of heaven belongs. Do you know who you're speaking to? Amen

Depends on which one you treat as a human being instead of some kind of project.

I really can't say. For me it was easy to convert from a christian/baptist to an atheist. But I didn't exactly "convert"--it was a matter of evolving when I began to question, reasoning, researching, and reading tirelessly.

I simply give people the answer to their questions, but it is much easier for an atheist who has finally hit bottom to choose Christ, but when an agnostic is in good times it seems that they understand Christ much better.+2
