When I entered the military I was a believer. During my time in service I traveled around to various countries including Muslim countries and really started thinking about my beliefs. I spent many a night on watch just thinking on it all. I didn't really discuss it with anyone. I just examined everything I was led to believe.
Since I had been indoctrinated so thoroughly growing up it took me a long time but eventually I reached a point where I simply couldn't believe in it anymore. It just didn't make any sense to me any longer.
It's not that I wanted to stop believing. I just wasn't able to anymore. No matter how much I wanted to.
If that's considered cheap atheism, oh well. But it took me a hell of a lot of deep introspection to reach that point.

Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
