In answer to the OPs question: How do you become an Atheist?
Open your eyes. Take a good look around. Question everything you have ever been taught (yes, including the science stuff as well as the fairy tales). Now start from the beginning. Start with small things. Use direct observation where possible, indirect next, then start pulling on wider sources. Try and avoid unsubstantiated "proofs" or claims.
Finally you should build up a picture of reality where there simply is no need for a god, indeed, very little room even for a theoretical god. At the worst you should come out of this as a weak form deist (something must have created the universe and i will call this god), otherwise you should be agnostic or atheist.

A finite number of monkeys with a finite number of typewriters and a finite amount of time could eventually reproduce 4chan.
