Religious leaders/pastors turning atheist.

Awesome. All it can take is one moment of true objectivity to get your brain working properly again, after that it's just a matter of time.

I've heard of many pastors and such who are stuck in their jobs, but don't believe any more. They hate it and want to leave, but are trapped due to little other training and the knowledge that they'll probably lose their entire social network if they come out. It's so sad, but there are organisations set up specifically to help them.

I've been listening to a lot of American shows, and I accidentally pronounced pastor as "pasta" to my wife. She thought that was worth laughing in my face! "Oh, he went to see his PASTA did he!" Probably FSM having fun on my behalf.
