Age of Deconversion

[Mister Agenda]

I had been an agnostic theist for quite a while when I finally deconverted completely around age 35-36, over 20 years ago. I didn't decide to be an atheist, I just realized that I was, that at some point along the road that little bit of belief I had been holding onto had evaporated. I came from a lower-lower working class background and didn't complete my bachelor's degree until I was in my 30s. Along the way I had dropped many beliefs I once embraced (cryptids, ghosts, ufos, etc.) due to further research. I learned more about science, in particular that there were possible natural explanations for the origin of our universe. The defining moment was the semester when I took Intro to Religion from an Orthodox Christian professor who thought he could prove God at the same time I was taking Logic 201 and learning about fallacies and the burden of proof. I couldn't help but notice that ALL of his arguments were fatally flawed. All that was the end of the corner of my mind I was keeping belief in at least a Creator in. I still don't believe today because God doesn't seem any more likely an explanation for anything now than it was then. Maybe the only thing that's changed is that then I might have considered a flawless argument for God convincing then, now I don't think a perfect argument can overcome a significant lack of confirming evidence for the argument's conclusion.
