“I perceived his faith as a mystery and a search, not as a set of answers or rules. Outsider and unbeliever though I am, he made me feel like a member of his search party. I can’t understand Tim’s world, but his gift was to give me glimpses of it. And he made me feel loved—by him and by his God. I once asked him if God hears the prayers of an atheist. He said yes, and I hope that’s true, and in that spirit I’ll pray for him.” -Jon Rauch, atheist, gay, Jewish – upon Tim Keller’s death, as quoted in The Atlantic
