It wasn't an all-at-once thing with me.  It was a process so I don't think there was a specific day. It's been decades for me though...probably longer than you are old.

I remember the exact day because it was the day I watched a Jimmy Snow video for the very first time and my Mormon shelf came crashing down. Technically, I officially realized I was atheist a couple months after that date. But it was inevitable after that first video and uncovering all the lies.

I suppose it's hard for me to pinpoint a day or specific incident because I didn't ever buy into it.  I looked at the Bible stories I learned as a kid as just like Aesop's fables.  And neither of my parents ever discussed with me that any of it was to be taken literally.  Following the Catholic faith is what we did because it's what dad did and what his parents did and on and on.  It's just what was expected to go through the motions.  When I started putting serious thought into it...it all just crumbled.  I looked for a faith practice that worked for me and after a few years realized that I just couldn't believe no matter what flavor I looked into.

Since I don't drink coffee, I live on V energy drink and coke at work.

It's like stinking a hive of bees up your nose, one at a time, but really fast.
