Thanks.
I'll also add that when the economy tanked, I took a job as a Truck Driver so I had a lot of time on my hands to listen to podcasts or download videos from YouTube as well as read when I was parked. Christopher Hitchens tore into religion so fiercely and that had a lot of impact. I also read God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything along with Dawkins' The God Delusion.
Exposure to these voices thanks to internet based media was very helpful for picking all this stuff apart.
