As Christians, the scripture calls upon us to spread the love and word of God to those in need of his love. These Bible verses for atheists can guide us on how to do this.
Do not consider atheists a threat to your religious belief; instead, consider them as open individuals who need the message of Jesus Christ. As Christians, we are taught to be the messengers of God. We are taught to deliver the good news.
If you are trying to help someone who has not yet accepted Christ, you might consider a prayer for unbelievers to ask God for His help in guiding them to the path.

What Does the Bible Say About Atheists?
Jude 1:22
And have mercy on those who doubt
Evangelizing is more than just teaching, instructing, and transferring knowledge to the intellect.
The goal of evangelizing also includes getting people to respond to the message of truth. Christians frequently seek God. While the Bible calls us to be “evangelical,” our attempts to share our religion are frequently met with fear and apprehension.
We are wary of our calling as evangelists not just because we doubt our own logical abilities, but also because we all intuitively understand that words alone cannot fully express the entirety of our relationship with God.
John 10:37
If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me
It is our responsibility to guide nonbelievers toward something transcendent, something that not only satisfies our longings but also transforms our attitudes and behaviors toward authentic, moral life.
Because God created us to be in fellowship with Him, everyone we encounter ultimately longs to be back in the garden with God.
He gave us this knowledge of his existence as our creator. Christians should view everyone in this way. Before mentally preparing to communicate our religion with people who reject God, we must first comprehend that God created everyone in His likeness.
James 2:24
You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
We embody this image and want to be like him.
Christians have been given a divine calling not just to respond to challenges to our faith, but also to communicate truth in such a way that unbelievers are led to Christ by the power of the Spirit.
Christians are tasked with evangelizing the world. Our mission to evangelize is driven by a commitment to see others from God’s perspective. Our hearts long to be with the God who made us. This is true even for people who deny the existence of God.
Corinthians 3:7
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
These so-called atheists are truth-seekers who are likewise looking for the answers to life’s big questions. As Christians, we must learn how to properly engage with them to effectively share the word of God.
Become a better listener. The key to engaging in the gospel is careful listening. Understanding the viewpoint of the person you are speaking with requires attentive listening.
Romans 1:19
because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
Our views are often a culmination of events and reflections since we are complex beings, and understanding others around you requires a desire to listen.
An atheist may have logical reservations about your statements, but after hearing their arguments, you may conclude that their actual concerns are motivated by feelings or are only willful conclusions.
How can we love our atheist neighbors?
We ought to love our atheist neighbors as we would any other Christian neighbor.
Luke 18:8
I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?
We work to understand them. We treat them with respect since they are people created in God’s image. We provide kindness and assistance. We want to understand them.
Listening is our first obligation.
We must pay attention to the culture, to what others are saying, and work to comprehend their perspectives. We cannot presume that they speak our language, and we cannot presume that they speak ours. Embrace humility.
Thessalonians 5:2
For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
How wonderful it would be if all we had to do to defeat an atheist in a discussion was to speak the whole truth. All is not lost if your skill level falls short of an atheist’s; humility can still gain their trust.
Believing when we do not have all the answers is a respectable definition of faith. Sometimes all you have to say is “I don’t know.” Do not lose hope while talking to atheists. Unbelief has no effect on God.
Belief or disbelief does neither increase nor decrease the existence of God. God comes first. To put it differently, his existence came before ours.
Thessalonians 5:21
But test everything; hold fast what is good.
Even the loudest yell or the deepest uncertainty cannot lessen or deepen His presence. God is still there and still loves, therefore your loved one’s lack of faith does not upset Him.
Acquire the ability to learn. Learn from the unbelievers.
The unbelief of your loved one cannot change the reality that God’s fingerprints are wonderfully all over them. Their entire existence is a work of his. They are formed by His hands. Recognize that everything and everyone that God made can teach you something.
Be willing to learn. Because showing respect and humility in daily life also means being teachable. Because respecting another person’s abilities praises their Creator. Because listening is a type of love, love may reach places where discussion cannot.
Proverbs 19:3
When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the Lord.
Become teachable because learning from others makes it possible for you to teach others. Surprisingly, being truly teachable disarms people.
Be present at all times because God is within you. When your loved one is close to you, Jesus is near them. Jesus moves within his disciples through a mystery that we can barely fathom.
Isaiah 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
Everyone will relax in God’s presence. The Prince of Peace within you will be the source of the peace they experience. Give the gift of your presence to unbelievers. God echoes His love through your humanity, so be close enough, long enough.
James 2:19
You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
John 12:32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
Job 4:17
‘Can mortal man be in the right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?
Hebrews 12:14
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
