Furthermore, if the Bible is read with an open mind, especially the New Testament, mediumship is depicted over and over again.

I believe Jesus practised mediumship, even indulging in a little fortune telling for the woman at the well (John 4).

This is not just my interpretation; others, including informed christians, agree. As far back as 1984, the Rev Michael Perry, while Archdeacon of Durham, publicly admitted the same.

The following quote is from a recent public statement from the Vatican: "The Roman Catholic Church no longer considers it a sin to have dialogue with the deceased."

So you see, our friend the atheist is right when he/she says we must 'live and let live' - for without freedom of thought, and friendly interaction, how otherwise will we learn?
