For me, it's never been a question of coming to any conclusion and especially not that I shouldn't believe in this stuff. It's simply that I've never felt the need for it. As I grew in my innate atheism (innatheism?) I was able to educate myself on various aspects of the subject, such as how and when certain 'holy' books were put together. I could view these things dispassionately, as an outsider.
Put more bluntly, I was never suckered into the religious shell game before; I'm certainly not going to fall for it now.
