When you get a new pair of shoes, they sometimes don't become your instant favourite pair of shoes overnight. Instead, you switch back-and-forth between wearing the new pair, and wearing an old pair. At some point, you decide which shoes you like the best, and they are now your favourite shoes.
Same deal with religion v. atheism. You will jump back and forth to immerse yourself in one, then the other, then back, and forth, and on and on, until it becomes crystal clear which one you like the best. It takes time, and it's an alternating process, not a instant process.
