When I became an atheist is fairly unintersting question in my case. I never lived in a religious household neither in a pious community or culture. Though, I became active as a skeptic and an atheist on the web following my early teaching experience. During a class in which I taught the theory of evolution one of my students entered a state of surprising rage with a few others following his lead. I never expected that, in my part of the world, there were still a significant portion of creationists with enough pull to actually cause such a strong and violent reaction. That's when I started to explore the strange a wacky world of creationism and other contemporary religious canard. My views on religion, science, skepticism and social justice stiffened a little bit and I started to enjoy debates and conversations in place like this (also, my knowledge of basic natural science improved as did my capacity to vulgarise and teach some elements of it).
