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

[robvalue]

Indeed, atheism isn't supposed to be a replacement for religion.

Critical thinking and scepticism are a vaccination against any forms of irrational thinking. There's no need to preach anti-anything propaganda, just give people the best tools and they will figure it out themselves.

Most people use scepticism at least vaguely well, they just jettison it completely in regard to their own pet religion/woo. Of course, getting someone to admit that is nearly impossible.

Anyone who actually has little or no scepticism is incredibly vulnerable.
