I never really felt like religion was real to begin with honestly. My parents were pretty lapsed Catholics, they never once uttered a line from the Bible to me EVER. In my entire childhood they took me to church maybe 7 times, and even though they did send me to CCD, once I declared my atheism to them they allowed me to stop going. I was real lucky in that sense, because I know a lot of my fellow atheists grow up in less tolerant areas with much less tolerant parents.
But ultimately I've always been pretty logical (or at least I hope I am) and there were just too many failures in reasoning when I looked at some of the other mainstream religions, and so I ended up as a deist that thought that there might be a higher being that created everything but that doesn't care about the outcome of his creation. From there I moved the agnosticism and finally atheism.
