I am an atheist but I understand how positive and meaningful religion can be to people, glad he found what is best for him

Ryan Trajan is such a good person in general I think we can all agree on that and he has such a great personality I love this man

Ryan Trahan is so respectful and respectable. He never gets mad, he seems like such a nice guy in general, and if I got to choose to meet a celebrity, I’d choose him

I cried when he said “He’s my source of joy and my everything” because I finally found this too.

His smile grew as he talked, I’m glad he found happiness. I think that what matters is that you are happy and not hurting anyone, God wouldn’t want someone to worship Him unwillingly

Props to subtitler for capitalizing "Him"

I didn’t know he was Christian that made me love him more 😢

Jesus is king

Big shoutout to Ryan for publicly being open on His faith, but also big thanks Anthony for putting that on the internet, awesome stuff to see creators like you not being afraid to show christians on your channel

Whether you're Christian or not, this is a very heartwarming story.

I’m a Christian, but I feel like whenever I say that, a lot of people assume I’m gonna try to force my religion onto them, so I usually just say “oh yeah I do believe there’s something out there.” And move on with my day.

I am so proud as Ryan’s journey. Me who has been raised a Christian , have been going through struggles in faith and I hope I can get back to God

Y’all don’t hate on him because he is a Christian, everyone has their own beliefs and we shouldn’t hate people for it

I used to be atheist but I recently came back to jesus

i love ryan and haley so much. they are the sweetest people and seeing how great their relationship is and how their faith continues to grow has been so beautiful to watch.

That’s why Ryan is the best and friendliest KZfaqrs!

As an agonistic atheist we should respect this guy. People change and are allowed to change their religious beliefs. We should respect their religious right, if he’s not harming anyone why are we clowning on him? It makes no sense. FOR MY SANITY PLEASE READ THE FUCKING EDIT. "can you explain to me how??" ITS IN THE EDIT. CAN YALL NOT READ Or SUM?! Edit: okay I’m sick and tired and genuinely annoyed of people telling me I can’t be both so let me explain how you can so I don’t have to repeat myself a million times to people who just don’t get it. while an agnostic is someone who doesn't believe it's possible to know for sure that a god exists. It's possible to be both an agnostic atheist doesn't believe but also doesn't think we can ever know whether a god exists. There. Please stop asking/telling me I can’t be both. Good lord.

just a reminder for a few people alot of atheist aren't bad people, they simply just don't believe there is a god. but yes I've seen atheists drag down religious people, but I've also seen religious people drag down atheist or people of other religions. we should all just respect each other's beliefs

One of the main reasons I love Ryan is because he always keeps it real. He tells you exactly what’s going on and how he feels and though he might be awkward at times he’s genuine. This was a very hard interview. I imagine because anytime you have to talk about your religion to a crowd, you’re kind of asking for scrutiny, but he always handles things like a champ and stays positive

As someone who grew up in a religious home/ community, (I'm not Christian anymore) I'm so happy that Anthony is so respectful of his viewers and his guests that he knows the little things. For example, most people wouldn't think to capitalize the H in him when referring to God. I love the respect he gives people, a lot of youtubers aren't like that.😊

I'm so glad to see this - a lot of celebrities claim to be Christians and aren't but Ryan really seems like he's got the idea :D

so proud of him for speaking about his testimony

Went from Muslim to Atheist and now Catholic. Whether God is true or not, I find comfort that I can talk to when I become lost. Whether that's a priest, nun, a fellow Catholic, God, Jesus, Mother Mary or one of the Saints. My prayers have also helped my mental health and my physical health.

I’m glad Anthony finally spoke to someone who has had positive experiences with religion. Seems like most people he interviews that talk about religion talk about how much they didn’t like it. Anthony does a great job giving voices to groups that most people don’t know about or are commonly misunderstood, and I think it would be cool for him to do the same for religions.

I don't care about atheist or religious. As long as people are doing good. I'm gonna respect that.

Stop I’m crying!!! Ryan was one of my favorite KZfaqrs about 3-4 years ago but I really wanted to start watching more Christian content and Christian KZfaqrs so I stayed subbed to him but never watched his videos and now I can go back!!!! I’m so happy rn!!! ❤❤❤

Don’t listen to the people shutting you down for being Christian, you made your decision and we all support you Ryan! I hope you and your family will all find joy and grace in Christ!

Yes churches are broken, the people in my belief are broken (im broken) but don’t let that factor if you become Christian or not. Only focus on the love of Christ 🖤🖤🖤 Jesus is perfect and can save. I've seen how the church can hurt people, how we are pushing people away. but Jesus can save and he has saved many -me

So weird how I have the exact opposite story. And now it is my absolute source of joy! We all find our stories in unique ways. We don’t have to fight babes! ✌🏼💕

He seems like a genuinely kind person

I'm not religious, but it makes me so happy that people can be so happy because of religion! I support anyone of any religion and I wish you all the best! God bless you guys!❤:3

I am an athiest but if people want to believe in God it ain't my business

i’m an atheist but i have nothing but love in my heart for christians. i’m glad he found something that made him happy :)

To my Brother in Christ im so incredibly inspired by your story. I’m glad Our God found you and that you opened your heart to him ❤🙌🏼

Bless his heart

I am the same and when I started going to church of my own accord when I was 13 my brother told me I was joining a hateful cult... It wasn't, he had just had bad experiences with the loud bad ones. I'm not homophobic or transphobic but since I started going to church my brother thought I was going to be and he freaked out, I realize that now but I remember being absolutely devastated that he thought that of me and I cried for hours. I think where the hate comes from in the Christian community isn't people who are Christian because they love Jesus, I think they just wanted an excuse to hate and be mean to people which is the exact opposite of what we are about.

Shoutout to Ryan for saying all of this publicly because we know the internet loves to bash Christians endlessly. Respect to him

This is so sweet to watch

YESS!! I am ECSTATIC that is is a Christian now! (At least I think he is a Christian) I really hope he is!! I'm so glad Jesus opened his eyes! 🙏✝️

I really thought the comments would be more like reddit but people here are very respectful and can show their beliefs in a kind respectful way

i’m somewhat similar. i grew up in a very conservative southern baptist church and went along with everything until around high school. i was severely depressed and tried to off myself. i didn’t understand why, if God was so good, he didn’t either save me or just let me die. funnily enough, i’ve come back around more recently, getting back in prayer and things, after i discovered that i’m trans. i don’t really talk to any of the christians i knew irl before bc i don’t think they would be accepting, but God loves me and that’s all that matters.

I just found his channel recently and dude is just a positive energy. It's really refreshing on this site to see someone with this message and his positivity.

I'm an atheist but I fully understand him. Religion can truly be a source of meaning for many people. Seeing him find something that makes him so truly happy is wonderful Weirdly I have the exact opposite story, being an atheist has idk, kinda freed me of the "chains" I was bound to ig? I'm not talking abt allowing me to do bad shit like robbing or anything those are morally and legally bad but I mean some things my parents would never approve cuz it isn't seen in very a good light in our religion. For example, drawing living things and creating sculptures just as a form of art, singing, dancing etc I'm not afraid to do what I love in fear of being punished anymore and I'm not anxious thinking there might be some celestial being constantly seeing everything I do. It's been a source of happiness for me

I think religion can be great for many things even though I am an atheist. I think the atheist community should try to be less cynical as well even is that means not being in it anymore, for their mental health and for everyone else’s as well.

God bless Jesus is lord Jesus is king turn to him before it is too late we don’t know that day hour nor second god bless

I always wondered if he was a Christian. He never mentions it in videos but he never swears and is always so joyful so it makes sense

I super happy he decided to bring joy on jesus! I don't remember ANY moment of my life and there was none besides when i was first born because the first words my mom said to me was Jesus will bless you and it happened!

while I am atheist I am happy for him that he found Jesus, as it clearly makes him so happy!!

I don’t care what religion you are or aren’t. Just be nice and I’ll be nice to you, though I usually try to be nice first. I’ve offered to buy people food when it meant I wouldn’t eat. I remember this one time that I was buying a ramen pack. This dude came up to me and payed for everything in my cart. It was like four cans of soup and like a 10 pack of ramen. I freaking cried man.

I’m atheist but this is what Christianity should be

Ryan is a really great person and hearing this is just even greater. God bless Ryan ❤❤❤

The amount of evidence behind the Bible and the power of the context is why I believe it is the truth. If anyone here hasn't looked into Christianity, and I mean REALLY looked into it, I believe they should before they die, which may be any of these days but hopefully not.

the positive comments are really great to see! have faith or not

Not a fan of religion personally but if it brings someone else joy I have no right to talk badly about it, no matter the religion.

Great for him. Glad he was able to come out of the dark and see the light and know the love God has for us

Christian here :D. I'm not here to tell you to become a Christian because that ain't poggers. But not just Christians but even if you're not apart of that religion there's still so much that you can take from it. I.e. the parables Jesus's says.

Watch his month penny challenge haha I was getting Christian vibes with how genuine and polite he was with everyone, lol yup

He seems like a great dude. Super positive vibes and seems kind. Good for him.

This makes me so happy because he’s my favorite KZfaqr and I didn’t know he was Christian. I’m so happy for him!

One more reason why Ryan Trahan has quickly become my favorite youtuber

I had the opposite experience from him. Grew up Catholic and as soon as I got to highschool I realized how non-Christian most Christians act. It’s supposed to be a religion about love and acceptance but from my experience it’s anything but that. I also was incredibly lazy and had a huge problem with procrastination. My excuse? I’ll get to do everything in Heaven. It made everything far easier to believe that there was always someone there for me, but eventually I started thinking “what if there is no God and I won’t be able to accomplish everything I want to in Heaven?” That thought becoming more and more prevalent in my mind as well as a variety of other factors I will not discuss caused me to agnostic/atheist. For clarification (because people always tell me I use those definitions wrong), I really don’t care if there is or isn’t a God. I don’t think there is, because of lack of scientific evidence, and I’ve leaned away from Christianity because most of them are either idiots or bigots/dogmatists, while the rest are using religion as a coping mechanism (good on them!) like Ryan here. That decision has made me far happier (albeit a bit nihilistic at times) and I’ve become far more productive and I’ve disciplined myself to get through mafan situations. May not seem like much, but we’ll get there. It may seem like I’m bashing Christianity, but I feel nothing but firgun for Ryan finding happiness in Jesus

I grew up with a very religious mother so naturally I felt force to follow the same belief. Eventually I stopped believing in all that stuff because I wanted to feel “free”. There was a time in my life where I was going thru SH*T like it was BAD BAD and no one could understand me even the people who went through it. I was extremely depressed and ignored god. After a while I found myself praying to him and after learning more about him then THAT got me out of that pure sadness. ❤

Zach’s always got A1 commentary 😂😂

Everyone in the comment section is really forgetting that people can have different religious beliefs and coexist- religion is a philosophy, there’s no right answer that we know of yet so please be respectful and stop trying to convert people who haven’t asked for your opinion.

as someone questioning my own religious beliefs, i’m glad that everyone is being so loving :)

My Mom loves you. She says "oh he's that nice boy with the wife" when she sees me watching your videos.

As a Christian, I am very glad that he changed not saying it’s bad to be an atheist, but you believe in what you believe in and I believe in God

As an introvert chirstian I never liked forcing others to my beliefs I just like keeping things to myself which had made me outcast from some cell group before because I like to be alone 😢

Dude the comments here are so wholesome I love it so much how people are sharing their own options and beliefs without being hateful and showing love to one another. It's little moments like these that make life okay and show that there's actually okay people out there. I'm so glad that there are some people who don't believe all Christians are bad and stereotypical. Now I am a Christian and do I believe that there are really bad Christians out there? 100% yes. I hate how so much hate gets spread around by the people that are just meant to love everyone regardless. Christians aren't supposed to be known by their hypocrisy or judgement. They're supposed to be recognized by their love and patience and it should be spread to others equally. My heart reaches out to all that have had bad experiences/ trauma that have happened and the cause of it is from the church or someone who claims Christianity. I completely understand and I have been through this before. I deeply apologize and I hope that you are healing and know that you are loved and seen. I hope you have a wonderful day

nahh ryan my fav youtuber now

I’m so glad that some of the biggest creators in the world are Christian ❤

Jesus loves you all

Whatever floats your boat! As long as it’s not hurting anyone, believe in it. I am mostly atheist but I have made my own sort of creator figure. It’s comforting tbh. It makes me happy to see people finding comfort in a religion that speaks to them. :)

Did t know this about Ryan, love him even more now!!! And now I know why his light and joy seems so authentic

This makes me soooooo happy!! “He who has ears let him hear…” So glad he heard and found out for himself

Finding and believing that someone is always listening to your, a higher power that has your back, is surely comforting and helping in life. I'm a believer before exams and an athiest the rest of the year 😂

I dated an atheist and he would attend church with me. He always has one question and one question onto, why was there evil in this world. It’s a simple yet hard question to answer. Then we almost died in a car accident and he started to believe.

God has a special place in heaven for ryan

I’m agnostic and I’m still not even sure why it makes me so happy to know that. I think that finding a part of myself and knowing that piece of the puzzle is very fulfilling to me. My brother is also agnostic and my grandmother used to make comments about him to me when I was little because my brother is nine years older than me. She used to say that he was lost and that I need to help him find his way. I love my brother for this and we have very similar outlooks on the world now. Moral of the story: knowing yourself and others can be what saves you.

I was raised roman catholic and I'm highly educated in theology. Now im agnostic, and still find religion fascinating

As a Catholic i find this very amazing, i feel like I haven't met another Catholic in a long time (other than friends and family who go to church with me:0)

As a pastors kid, this made me smile so much, ryan is one of my my favorite KZfaqrs, and seeing him believe in Jesus made me smile, I’m so glad he is christian ❤❤ Jesus loves you!!!

He made me love him even more. He’s such a light on this platform. We love you Ryan ❤❤❤

ME TOO!! Atheist to christian 😭 And honestly I believe in god not only because of positivity but because of science :]

It makes sence he kinda looks like a youth paster too

He’s so sweet and pure I love him

I’m so glad my young daughter has amazing content creators like this in her watch list!!! 🙏🏻🙌🏼💗

Same! I was an atheist who converted to Christianity about 6 years ago when i was 20 and it all started from asking questions to keep a very long story short. 😂

I see comments of ppl not knowing what religious they wanna be but truly I know I am just a stranger on the internet but God is good and is the only true thing he died so we would have life so just think how did u get life God is the ONLY accurate source to this world and happiness 🤙🥰💜💜 love yourself love GOD

I went through a similar journey, now I understand why I like Ryan so much, he’s an amazing person

He’s a changed man ✝️💟

He is such a sweet man.

Man ryan trahan can be a role model for others he has that positive vibe very nice to always laugh smiles this guy is the life you could ever dream of

As a fellow Christian I welcome you Ryan ❤

HECK YEAH YOU GO RYAN !

i love hearing him talk about this

It doesn't matter what our faith is, if there is something that makes a person this happy about living life without hurting anyone else, it is admirable. I'm happy Ryan's found his happiness :)

This makes me wish Ryan would be bold about his faith and incorporate it into his vids so that more people can find this overpowering love and joy through Ryan and God’s plans for him. May God’s will be done in his life. ❤😊🎉

I'm Atheist but I understand that god and Jesus are supposed to be loving, but it's the actual people that practice that religion is what turns me away. The beliefs that a lot of Christians have disgusts me and it's not the way that Jesus/god would want to be like

I am incredibly happy he found salvation!
