I think you're over thinking and complicating the process. Becoming an atheist shouldn't be something you consciously take steps towards. Belief(whatever the position) should be something that comes naturally after weighing the evidence. If you don't believe in god, you don't believe in god, and worrying about whether you are an atheist or what you should do to become one is trivial and pointless.
And don't worry about being smote by god. He either doesn't exist, or is completely impotent.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
