Famous people losing their religion: stories

 Quote:On 28 April 1642 That's you, Huggles. About 400 years behind the times.  
And of course there are also atheism tapes, like this one
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Several years ago I listened to Julia Sweeney's monologue of how she fell out of religion. It's funny but long:
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
