My deconversion began when I reached the peak of my faith as a Pentecostal Christian. I was so sure I had the right belief that I joined my first Atheist forum and began my "ministry" of apologetics. After a period of 4 months, I was faced with severe problems all across the board; credibility of Biblical documents, moral ethics, no evidence of miracles today, historical inconsistencies in the Jesus narrative, lack of personal revelations, the True Biblical Interpretation™, parallels to Pagan religions...
I basically was living under a rock feeding off the words of a mammal up on stage every Sunday. When I realised how wrong and naive I was, I had to be honest with myself and accept that the truth is no religion is true (because if poor baby Jesus is just a figment of Western culture's imagination, then to hell with the rest of the other religions!).
