I've never been religious, so I'd had nothing to de-convert from. But I can understand.
My Aunt and cousin are currently losing their faith it seems. They used to go to church regularly but have stopped. They are in the middle of de-converting themselves. Now, instead of faith, prayer and attending church, they visit natural history museums and science museums. Stopped wearing that blasted crucifix.
My uncle has been wavering a bit, but if he too de-converts, my family will only have one theist left in it. My nan.
For me, as I aged I obtained knowledge about religion over time. The more I learnt, the more I doubted. Too much wishful thinking and story telling, no shred of evidence to back any of it up. Lacked many details. Not to mention no explanatory power and that it's not falsifiable.
Religion excluded itself out of consideration.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
