Alex O'Connor admits Christianity is more plausible than he once thought

Reflection

For years, atheist philosopher and podcaster Alex O'Connor (Cosmic Skeptic) was known for his sharp critiques of Christianity. But in late 2025, he published a video titled "I've Realised Christianity Is More Plausible Than I Thought." In it, he acknowledged that the historical, philosophical, and intellectual case for Christianity is far more substantial than the simplistic dismissals often associated with New Atheism. This doesn't mean Alex became a Christian. It means he recognised that Christianity deserves to be taken seriously and that many of its strongest arguments can't simply be brushed aside. Whether you're a believer, a sceptic, or somewhere in between, one thing is clear: The deeper you investigate Jesus, the harder He is to ignore.

Questions to sit with

• What would it take for you to admit that Christianity is more plausible than you first thought?
• Have you ever engaged with the strongest arguments for Christianity, or only the weakest?
• If honest investigation keeps drawing sceptics closer to Jesus, what might that mean for you?
