→Relying of the testimony of atheists that they lack belief
A Christian who has doubts can rely on the experiential knowledge of God that he has experienced and evidence for the Christian worldview, but an atheist has nothing that would support a lack of belief in God. The Christian Youtube video creator [[Shockofgod]] repeatedly posed the question "What proof and evidence do have that proves that atheism is accurate and correct?" to atheists which was very upsetting to many YouTube atheists.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjS__cWr0Y0 The question that is causing atheists to abandon atheism]</ref>

== Studies indicating that individuals who reject Christianity have lower self-esteem ==
There are preliminary studies indicating that individuals who reject [[Christianity]] in Western cultures have lower self-esteem than the Christian population.<ref>http://atheistwatch.blogspot.com/2010/10/rejection-of-christianity-and-self.html</ref><ref>http://atheistwatch.blogspot.com/2010/10/atheists-and-self-esteem-part-2.html</ref>
People with low self-esteem often lack confidence. The preliminary data indicates that atheist ex-Christians are less confident and not more. This suggests a lack of confidence in their decision in some cases and not an absolute lack of belief.
