Yes, my brother (who was what I would call spiritual but not a believer before he died a year and a bit back), challenged me to do much the same ... you can see it at my blog site (click on "Why I Am An Atheist" to the right).

I didn't approach it that way but went more for the specific social & literary influences that lead me to cease believing in essence family, religion, science fiction & science, freedom of thought and internet creationism.
Good luck with your essay though
