My trek from faith to non-faith lasted more than a decade. Raised Evangelical, caught up in the "Jesus Movement", bent toward fundamentalism, rebelling from the harshness and hate residing there, moving though the most liberal branches of Christianity, and finally admitting that the real cosmos without a god was a lot more interesting and, in many ways, a lot better place than the cosmos with a human centered god, is a long walk. (Not as long as that sentence, but close.)
I'm sure there were times when I wrestled with the fading of my faith, but it has been several decades now and most of those memories have faded. I do remember that last time I walked out of a church service as a "Christian". I got into the car and admitted to myself, "None of this is true."
Religion hasn't meant anything to me since.
