Jeffrey Lange, Senior Vice President at Old Republic Intl, delivered a lecture in 2002 titled "The Purpose of Life," which was later posted online in 2011. In the talk, Lange described his personal journey from atheism to Islam, stating that he was raised in a Christian family and later became an atheist. He said that reading the Quran, particularly Surah Al-Baqarah, changed his perspective, and he discussed the concept of humans as "khalifa" (vicegerents) on Earth as presented in the Quran. Lange attributed his initial atheism to his upbringing and expressed that the Quran's treatment of the story of Adam and the angels conveyed a deeper message about human purpose.
