Decades.  Like Thena, I was raised Pentecostal, went to a Xtian school. Then about 25 years ago, I started playing the organ in a Catholic Church to make ends meet.  Combine the idiocy I kept hearing from the pulpit with a growing love of Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, etc., I started realizing that I COULDN'T believe the Bible, and I COULDN'T respect, much less worship, a deity like Yahweh - Yes, it's been a slippery slope right into a relieved, much calmer atheistic state of mind.
