The difference being that my conviction as a theist was shaken as I continued to test it. Since I became an atheist, I really haven't seen anything that I hadn't already heard or used to try and support my theistic beliefs. Perhaps the most compelling being that a large part of theism (especially these days, IMO) consists of finding ways around the fact that god just won't reveal himself. I went through that phase in my life, and in the end it's very insensible and unsatisfying. I felt like Yahweh's secretary, telling people "he's been in a meeting since 33AD, and he'll be out in just a minute" for some 30 years.
This. Ditto!
