No one makes the decision to become an atheist, that decision is made for us automatically by our brain (if we were once a theist). It may not happen instantly, and we may not even consciously notice or admit it right away, but it's out of our conscious control. Once it has happened, we are powerless to do anything about it except to try and "convince it back again".

I happen to have just written that on my website as well :p
