Activist atheist finds God after illness, Christian kindness

A noted Texas atheist activist who pushed for the removal of a nativity scene in front of a county courthouse has turned Christian. Patrick Greene's conversion comes after he learned a serious eye condition could make him blind, which in turn led to an outpouring of support among the same Baptist church he threatened to sue. News of Greene's condition prompted Jessica Crye to ask her pastor at Sand Springs Baptist Church in Athens, Texas, if they could help Greene, the Christian Post reported. He agreed and thousands of dollars in donations were raised on Greene's behalf. Greene said it was Crye's compassion that made him see the light, so to speak.
