I also want to add, because I skipped over it for some reason... that I got into Atheism because I was so tired of trying to figure out religion and I came to the conclusion that none of it made sense so I had to just dump all belief.
Then I watched every YouTube and Netflix show/movie/clip on anything and everything from Richard Dawkins to Lawrence Krauss to Christopher Hitchens to Neil DeGrasse Tyson and lots more.
Then I got Dawkin's books- The Selfish Gene and The Greatest Show on Earth.
All of this just convinced me that atheism is absolutely the correct path for me and anything else is just a waste of time. I seek truth now and nothing more.
Being an atheist only means you don't believe god(s). Ask yourself if you believe in a god. Then think of the other lesser gods mankind imagined, they get smaller and smaller. And what evidence is there? None. You needed to be able to define what a god is, and it seems that every religious person have a different definition of it.
