Faith Tester,
You are on a good path by adopting the attribut of "skeptic", you should not let anyone dictate your beliefs to you. As Leo mentioned, atheism isn't a path we have no new plan for you. It is true when you say that religious beliefs are hammered into the head and they are hard to extract. For me the process was akin to deprogramming; I fought with my own mind to free myself from old beliefs. Stay around and enjoy the fireworks, this is a fun bunch both theist and atheist alike.
