Read the Bible or if you're too damn lazy go to evilbible.com. You're probably not going to loose faith instantly but it's going to be gradual process. In my case it took me 5 years to go from Catholic to Deist (someone who believes that there is a God but he doesn't intervene) to Agnostic (maybe there is a God, maybe there isn't) to Atheist (I see no evidence to believe in God) to Anti-Theist (definitions may vary but mine is that "I don't believe in God and the world is better off without him").
How to get over fear of eternal torture for not worshiping God? It is definitely harder but the following quote from Marcus Aurelius helped me a lot:

Quote:Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
