Now I shall directly answer the original question of the topic:
How do you become an atheist? By either merely ceasing to believe in god(s) and thereby become an agnostic atheist, or by also denying even the possibility of the existence of gods(s) and thereby become a gnostic atheist.
And changing belief is not a free choice: It's merely a matter of whether you're convinced or not by the existence of god(s) in the case of agnostic atheism, and in the case of gnostic atheism it's a matter of being convinced that god(s) do not exist.
