I suppose Islam and other faiths are also connected to both of them as well. Do you think that the evidence the suggested Jesus most likely didn't exist also convinced you that other religions were 'full of it' (pardon the term)? Do you think you were less likely to believe other religions as a result? (Thus choosing Atheism because you accepted the evidence that led you to your conclusion that your religion was not telling the truth)
I had studied a few other world religions and was pretty well convinced that Christianity was the only one that had even a prayer (pardon the pun) of being probable Truth, so once that was dashed I was pretty well convinced that everything supernatural is bullshit. It was very much like when I figured out Santa and stopped believing in him, only for an entire realm of my perceived reality (toward the latter years of my spiritual journey I used to go around calling myself a Christ-following Shaman; I was big into spirituality and mysticism).
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
