An Atheist Believes Africa Needs God

I was checking out my friend Skip’s new blog (which is great, btw) tonight when I found an article he references entitled “As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God”. It’s written by veteran Times columnist Matthew Parris.

In an age where theists and atheists are often found "yelling" at each other in print, I appreciated Mr. Parris’ humility and graciousness toward Christians in general, and Christian missionaries in specific.

I’d love to hear what any of you think about the article—but I'd especially like to hear the opinions of my atheist friends and/or friends who have lived/worked in Africa.
