One doesn't 'turn' to atheism... if you do not believe in gods then you are by definition an atheist.If you do believe in gods, then you are a theist
I did post this before, but I didn't add to it for a while, so I thought I should start a new thread.
When I was a kid, I didn't believe in God but I was afraid to die. When I was a bit older I read a leaflet that told you how to feel God's presence and receive his spirit. I thought at the time that I did receive God's spirit and I believed from then on.
I think that if you really want to believe in something, you can make yourself believe in it.
