How did THAT happen?
Having faith in something requires more effort than not. You flowed downhill.
That would be the point. No one has to exert effort to maintain belief in demonstrably true things. God is not demonstrably true, and there for belief often requires an effort of will. Realizing that you shouldn't believe in something that requires an effort of will to believe is the first indication of a recovering theist.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
