how do you comfort an athiest?

I don't think it's your problem if she believes. If he's asked you to tell them, then you should. Start out by noting that she doesn't have to believe you, but you have things to tell her, and you want to say them all before she tries to interrupt. Then tell her what he says.

Don't give in to her religion. Tell her that you respect her belief, but that she has to respect your atheism as well. It would be the best for her to stop believing, though.

say a prayer... I am and I'm an atheist.

Remember that there will always be people or messages that will challenge your beliefs.  If you believe God and in his only Son Jesus Christ in your heart, then nothing or no one can change that.  Don't let them doubt yourself, or even make you angry.  Try to show them how what you believe has affected you, but don't get in a fight.  Most of all, don't let anyone make you doubt your faith.

I understand where you are coming from.  My husband and I have been in the same situation for a while now.  All we can do is draw nearer to GOD, and trust HIM to provide the strength we need.  People do not always obey what GOD would have them to do, but we have to forgive them, pray for them and bless them.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU!

Allow them to finish their prayer, bow your head and give thanks in whatever way you see fit to whom ever you see fit.  \n\nRespect their freedom of religion and they'll respect yours.  \n\nGive God a try!  Jesus loves you and so do I!\n\nDo I sound like a Bible beater??? ;-)

The first thing you should do is tell somebody please tell somebody. being her friend it is your responsibility to let someone because you telling someone could save her life. I dont know if eith of you are religous but pray with her and pray for her that God her strength to move beyond this situation. Let her know that you have her best intrest in mind and that you want her to be safe and let her know that she can trust you and that you love her and you have her back no matter what.\nI'll be praying for you both

Relax.  Just accept that fact that there is no god outside of yourself.  Go outside and breath the air for a while and stop thinking so hard on this stuff.  Sometimes you have to clear your mind to let the answers come.  There is no god punishing you, that is a myth.

Hang in there and trust your instincts. There is no God. It is a preposterous fairy tale and an absolutely ludicrous lie. Take a stand.  Nothing causes more pain, suffering, abuse and death then religion. The world needs more atheists.

Faith is a personal decision.  There's not much you can do.  Just be her friend and wish her well, she'll respect you for that.  If you try to push religion on her, she may get upset with you.  If it makes you feel better, you can pray for her.  It's nice that you care for her, but she has every right to make this choice on her own.

Although I am not religous, my best friend is Christian.  And when I am in a rut, she always gives me the same advice.  Just believe.  Believe that things will get better.  Try to find something to hold on to, and begin praying again.  Try to find something you can join other than a church, or just surround yourself with really good friends and family.

Have Courage\n\nFather, thank You for comforting and assuring me of Your divine intervention as I walk this journey here on earth. I dwell, remain and settle down under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord that You are my Refuge, my place of Protection. You are my God, True and Faithful. You are my Security. You did not give me a spirit of fear – but a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. In Your name I bind my emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit and go forth with confidence. Amen.

Amen! to what ab72756 said.\n\nIf you care, put God aside for a moment, and talk to your brother. See what is in his mind. Support him. Be by his side.
