How did you become an atheist?

[Gawdzilla]

So, can you tell us about how you became an atheist? Was it a process or an instance when you dropped your god belief? Did someone help you along, or influence you? Or maybe you were always an atheist? Please share your story. 

Never been anything else. Expelled from Sunday School on my second visit, age 7, for asking awkward questions about Noah's fArk. 

I told a young lady recently that I was an atheist and she seemed shocked. After a moment of contemplation she said, "Well, it happens*, people get abused..."

I told her I was never religious so that didn't apply. She grew more confused then. "But how?"

"I wasn't indoctrinated in any religion."

"I wasn't either!"

"You parents were..."

"Catholic."

"And you are..."

"Catholic. But that's because it makes sense!"

"Catholics are the ones that eat their savior?"

"Now you're trying to start a fight!"
