The closest I've been to being an atheist was just a big bout of agnosticism that lasted for around a year when I was younger. So I don't know how you guys see things. How did the whole atheist revelation come to you?
It was when I was having buttsex in kinpin's thread about porn
I became an atheist when the wheelchair in my picture fell on top of my buttsex.
My loss of faith took place over several years, in two continents, involved nothing more than me thinking -- actually thinking, not simply digesting what I'd been told -- and was mainly a result (as I would learn later) of my precocious understanding of the Problem of Evil.
2011. God showed up 2005. Took me six years to get to here from there.

When I was a Christian I was very interested in apologetics. I was also a Creationist. Long story short, the more I researched for credible evidence for my beliefs to give to non-believers the less of it I found. The most important thing for me has always been to know truth, whatever it may be, which meant that I could no longer deny the truth which the evidence was pointing to, that there is no god.

I used to be a Christian: but unfortunately my kinky-winky is paralyzed - that is why my wheelchair now wishes nothing but buttsex upon its photo of my newfound atheist's porn.
Might as well ask when I stopped beating the wife I never had. I do remember the first time I wondered how grownups could believe it. I was around five.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

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.
