No one led me into atheism, I found it myself. Well, then again I suppose my hero of atheism would be Wayne Grudem a fundamentalist Christian and the author of "Systematic Theology". It took only a couple chapters for him to point out quite clearly that the foundations of Christian doctrine are built on solid bullshit. Hey that's a great song, "On Christ the solid bullshit I stand all other ground is something else.". Anyway he destroyed my belief in in Christianity. Left me with no religion, only god.
Prosperity doctrine preachers (the list is too long to mention) also do a lot for atheism.
Then there are the other asshole preachers.
Then there are the asshole creationists, anti gay, anti abortion, anti separation of church and state....blah blah blah.
Then there are the general run of the mill assholes who use religion to be assholes to other people.
The Bible kind of sucks also.
Oh, and I'd like to pin a lot on god for his refusal to reveal himself in any provable manner but I guess I can't really do this.
Next in line would be many of the modern atheists that we all know and love.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
