But if one is more of an evidentialist, then perhaps it is possible to look at in in a way that it appears that a person can be influenced by their environment enough to either accept God, or reject him.
As compared to the typical Christian explanation, naturalism may appear to be more rational. Okay, it is more rational. But the flip side is that we Christians have not sought a better explanation in earnest, one that is in concert with the tenets of evolution and respects the inspired text, with the possible exception of a scant few on this list. Stalin may be one example of naturalism providing someone with a seeming get-out-of-jail free card, but I am sure there are millions of examples like him though lesser known.
You can point the finger at Darwin if you like, but lazy, ignorant Christians bear at least as much responsibility.
