Wasn't too sure for a long time where I was going with the religion stuff, but the more I found out and read, the more atheist I have become.

Superstition, mere superstition!
It is hard to keep the reasonable stuff, strip away the bullshit and get it all in one go. I think of it like dandruff - it takes care and work to keep it at a minimum, knowing the proclivity for humans to draw baseless conclusions. I guess, by extension of that analogy, free thought is a good head of hair, well taken care of.
