According to actor Jonathan Roumie, "The Chosen" is drawing more than just TV fans — it's converting people to Christianity.
During an appearance on Monday's episode of "The View", Roumie claimed that viewers have reached out to him and shared that after watching the show, they've gone from "lifelong atheists" to churchgoers.
"Every so often, I randomly go through DMs on Instagram, for instance, because that's the platform I'm most active on and I just randomly will just pick - I pick two different people and both of these people that wrote to me, happened to have been lifelong atheists and never had any interest in God," Roumie told the daytime talk show cohosts.
"And somehow, somebody sent them the show and all of a sudden it's like that first episode just kind of grabs hold of you. And if God wants to, He will find you. He will follow you. He will go after you."
"Through the process of the show, they became interested in the Bible and then they started going to the church and they had both converted to Christianity. Lifelong atheists. To me, that's remarkable."
