As an atheist ex-Christian, I’ve been more than once gifted something like this by a concerned Christian.
Quite frankly I think they haven’t themselves ever really seriously thought about whether it’s real or not. These books tend to make the most simplistic and obvious basic arguments (“2.38 billion people can’t ALL be wrong!”), and lean hard into the consequences of being wrong about God not existing.
Most Christian apologists I’ve interacted with don’t have any conception of the fact that what brought me here is that I have thought about it way more than they have; they think it must be from ignorance, or deciding that “being good” isn’t worth the trouble.
