The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians.
Some people find it hard to believe in God because they see Christians who talk about following Jesus but then act in ways that don’t match those teachings, like being unkind or dishonest. This makes them question if the faith is real. If Christians really lived by their beliefs, showing kindness and honesty in their actions, it could help others see the true value of their faith and maybe believe in it too. It’s important for people who believe in God to make sure their actions match their words, to show what believing in Jesus is really about.
