How did u become an atheist?

[Angrboda]

I was raised Presbytarian, but by my teen years I'd lost the faith and become a naive atheist. When I was 17 I converted to Taoism. Somewhere between then and last year I gradually adopted Hinduism as my world view. But I was not particularly well read. So I faced a choice of becoming a better Hindu by reading the legends, or become an atheist. Both paths seemed to demand that I use reason to navigate the appropriate choices, so I clove to reason and abandoned my intuitively arrived at Hindu beliefs.
