When I left Islam I simply dropped it whole sale after a year of critical examination and moved on. I have to give credit to a bit of Islamic philosophy and reasoning for my status as a murtad. Fulsafa was very important to me and it made me heavily criticize the religion and disassociate myself from it. But I always hear of so many atheist having their lack of faith in religion/god strengthened or broken by some book that criticizes religion. Most people who I have met that leave Islam abandon it because of its pure stupidity and abuse of logical fallacies that are blatant to 5 year olds.
I am sort of old school, as the best way to become an atheist is to understand the religion you believe in. Islam and Christianity are self defeating religions. All you have to do is read the damn books.
Very true. I don't know how people stand the contradictions. To quote a Futurama episode (Second that Emotion), "Yeah, but nobody's that observant. It's mainly a Christmas and Easter thing." I think that is how most of your typical churchgoers view things.
