Looking at the bible as honestly as I could made me stop believing in religion. Also, researching religions in general, and starting to look at them all objectively instead of favoring mine. While researching mine, it helped to be honest and not have a presupposition that mine was true, and it helped to listen to other people's views instead of listening to one side of the argument my whole life.
Watching The Atheist Experience helped me become an atheist. Pretty much having an open mind and common sense. The open mind was a big one, because when you start listening to debates.. atheist vs. theist the theist says fallacious bullshit constantly and their arguments are so easily dismantled. There's no evidence that one religion is true or that a god exists.. and voila, you have yourself a new atheist.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
