How did I become an atheist?, I do believe I have always been an atheist (although I would have never consider myself as such). Because from age 4-13 I lived with only with my mother who is an Atheist. Also living with my father and stepmother in my teenage years with their neopagan/new age beliefs contributed to my atheism by myself becoming a skeptic towards anything which is supernatural.
It was only really recently (earlier this year), I really gave deep thought to why I think god/s did not exist and that there is nothing apart from what is material in the universe. I can attribute that to me being one of those people who never really question the “religious beliefs” their parents instilled in them, fortunately in my case my mother is an atheist. Thus when it came to me investigating this whole thing further, I found what Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Stenger, etc to make a lot of sense.
