There are no reliable numbers for such conversions. It can be assumed that, as the number of atheists/agnostics/no religions on census results and polls for Eurpope and North America grows each year, that the number is smaller than the number of people abandoning their religious affiliation in those areas. SImilarly as atheists could convert from that demographic to be Hindus, Jains, Jews, Moslems, Pastafarians etc., the number particularly converted to Christianity is even more shrouded.

∙ 12y agoPeople do not "convert" to Atheism, because there is no central authority of atheist opinion to swear allegiance to as there is with some religions, nor the typical habitual practices that most religions demand. There are moral atheists and amoral atheists. If you were asking for example "How many people lose their trust or faith in the Roman-Catholic church in a year?" you might be closer to an answerable question.

∙ 9y agoA number is hard to come to but the attached link speculates over 100,000 in the 19th Century. It would depend on the time period - critical against Jews or not so much. In any event, there are many new groups with a mission to convert Jews - Jews for Jesus, Messianic Jews, etc. They are being countered by the ADL and the state of Israel to name just two here.
Mixed religious marriages find one party switching to the others belief system - and this goes either way: Jew to Christian or Christian to Jew.

Why in America messianic Jews are disliked by Jewish?
The issue is that messianics are not Jewish, but rather, Christians who incorporated Jewish traditions (although with Christian concepts replacing the Jewish concepts) in an attempt to convert Jews to Christianity. Various messianic groups literally spend millions of dollars a year in this attempt and mainly target the elderly and the very young. Nowhere in the world are messianics considered Jews by any Jewish group.
How does Christianity and Judaism interact with eash other?
Judaism teaches that there are different paths for different people so therefore, accepts that there are different religions. For a large percentage of Jews, Christianity is a valid path for non-Jews. However, Judaism forbids Jews from participating in the worship practices of other religions, as a result, most Jews will not attend services held in a church. Christianity teaches that Christians are supposed to witness to non-Christians. Some denominations of Christianity do not interpret this literally and participate in interfaith dialogue with Jewish groups. Unfortunately, some Christian denominations spend millions of dollars a year specifically targeting Jews for conversion to Christianity.
