When, Where, How and Why did you become Atheist?

[ForsakenHeretic]

Well I was raised as a Methodist and had always been fascinated with science and history. My dad had never been very religious but he still identified as a Christian, but my mother was quite religious and we went to church every Sunday. I don't really want go into details about my life but to put a long story short there were some events that happened that caused my parents to divorce and my mom to go into rehab. My grandparents were supposed to pick out which rehab she went to and since they were Evangelical Christians they picked out a Christian rehab. By the time she had got back she was completely brainwashed, but turns out no actual rehabilitation and just praying alcholism doesn't work and she soon went back to rehab. Then I met my dad again who was dating my stepmother he had completely lost his marbles he now believed the Illuminati exists and that the government is putting out chem trails. At this point I started thinking objectively "do I really believe any of this stuff they tell me". So I started reading the Bible I found verses in their that just blew my mind, my pastor was hiding all these verses from me that I didn't even know was there. So I guess you could say that unlocked my critical thinking and reasoning skills. I just started researching and looked at arguments from both sides, and just came to the conclusion there's no God.
