Matt Riley, a second-year student at Yale Divinity School in New Haven, Conn., helps lead “The Left Behind,” a club of atheists and agnostics at one of the nation’s premier training grounds for clergy.
Along with co-leader Christy Groves, Riley has given nonbelievers a place of their own on a campus that explores belief. He chose divinity school, he says, to obtain an “inside view.” The club fosters dialogue between non-Christians and Christians on campus and staged “Div School Idol,” a takeoff on American Idol in the chapel last spring.
Archer,
Even atheists recognize that the Bible exists, the people go to churches, and that belief in higher beings is a popular exercise. One could spend an entire life-time studying religion purely as a social, cultural, and psychological phenomenon, without making that next step across the abyss of faith.
From Riley’s answers in the interview/article, it wd appear the Holy Spirit’s after him.
