Atheists might be open to belief in a God if presented with compelling evidence or experiences that can’t be explained by natural phenomena—aspects of reality that fundamentally challenge their current understanding of the universe. This could include personal experiences that feel divine, scientific discoveries that align with spiritual principles, or philosophical arguments that provide satisfactory answers to deep existential questions.
For theists, disbelief might arise from encountering contradictions within their religious texts, the presence of evil and suffering that challenges the notion of a benevolent deity, or a lack of empirical evidence supporting their beliefs.

Ultimately, each individual’s journey with belief and disbelief is influenced by personal experiences, evidence, and their philosophical outlook on life.
