If you are an atheist, how did you become one and why?

Question

were you always atheist or did you become one and why. what bothers you most when it comes to religion?

what was the main reason you changed atheism?

Answer 1

I became an antsiest ever since they taught religious education at my primary school.

Basically everything that the old women talked about I laughed at and just simply would not believe, I refuse to believe that some superior being created the world and two people procreated an entire world with such normality, what would've been with all the messed up chromosomes.

What bothers me most is people trying to preach their religion to others, I just don't want it. Also when they try to make atheism and those other sort of religions which favour science as some sort of demonic cult. When really we're just people with enough sense to realise just how littered with rubbish religion is.

I changed as stated previous, a man on an ark collecting two of every animal? HAHA! (Of course different religions hold different beliefs)

Adults with imaginary friends are stupid.

Answer 2

My parents had different faiths and agreed to raise me with no particular upbringing.  As a young man, I believed religions were lies people took on more or less knowingly to avoid confronting their own mortality -- and I still basically believe that; but I've also come across intelligent & kindhearted religious folk and decided you're not all whackos.
