How do you become an Atheist?

[Light of Truth]

I was a cradle Catholic. I was never a fervent Christian. I just accepted everything. Maybe eight or so months ago I started asking questions like "If a god created the universe, what created him?," and "how can the Christian god exist when there is evil?" From there I started reading Bertrand Russell, and now I am an Atheist because I see no evidence to believe in god(s).

Yeah, I've asked myself those same questions. I even told people when I was younger that if you could ask god any question and he had to answer it mine would be "Where did you come from?" and this was when I was in middle school. I didn't know about Atheism or anything like that at this point so I guess I've always felt this way without really knowing.

That's cool. I never even thought about where god came from until eight or so months ago. I can't believe I never thought about how the Christian god could allow the Holocaust and rape to happen. Christians say we have free will and god won't intervene, but they pray to him and ask for intervention. WTF?
