address an imaginary person who claims the positions of the New Atheism. In this letter, engage this imaginary person primarily with questions. That is, instead of telling them what they should believe (e.g., “The universe can’t exist without a creator. Come on!”) or trying to show them where you think they are wrong (“Atheists cannot have true morals because morality requires a God.”), ask them penetrating and critical questions about what you might consider problems or deficiencies in their positions. That is, use lots of language like “why”, “how is it”, “would you think”, “have you considered”, “might it be possible that…”, etc.
