The short of it is that I grew out of religion. Though I'm sure older theists wouldn't find that answer very acceptable
The more I grew up, and started thinking about things, the more I realized that I didn't agree with a lot of the things that were in the bible. I grew up with a belief in the kinder version of god, that wanted me to come to him willingly, so we could be buddies in heaven, so I wasn't really afraid of the fire and brimstone wrathful type of god.
So I figured if I didn't agree with most of what was in the bible, then there wasn't much point in me worshiping. especially after someone told me about the verse saying "If you're lukewarm in the spirit, god will spit you out". I couldn't dedicate me entire eing to the lord, and if he wasn't going to accept anything less, I may as well not be a Christian anymore.
I considered other faiths before becoming an atheist, but since there were no local bhudists, that I knew of, I figured I wouldn't bother.
