How did you become an atheist?

Why are you being so obtuse, Evie? My definition is included in the standard one. And I was making it clear what I meant by atheist when I made the thread. I wouldn't ask about how you became an atheist if I was talking to the people who were "born atheists" - which is everyone, right? But, ok, claiming you were always an atheist is fine, even if extremely unlikely and incorrect either way since you can't make an informed decision about something like that as a child. Saying someone is born an atheist because they don't believe in Gods is merely used by older atheists to point out the fact that religion is taught and not necessarily something you're born with. Yet that point becomes moot with skeptics who think we're all religious to some degree and we'll never get rid of it(which is mere laziness, if you ask me). Point is, it's ridiculous to point out that you're born an atheist. It's like saying you were born an asexual. Well, most of us develop a sexuality eventually.

Look, I'm not being obtuse I'm being technically correct: There is no sub-definition of "atheist" that means "used to be a theist but lost belief in god", no definition of "atheist" specifies specifically loss of belief in gods.

Point is I didn't become an atheist, but I am an atheist and I'm an atheist by every definition of the word itself.

And the type of "atheist" I am by every definition, is a weak atheist. But regardless, by any definition of "atheist" I am an atheist, and I don't think I've ever believed in god.
