Atheists, what is the main thing that led you to atheism?

[Atheist]

What is the main reason why you stopped believing in God and how old were you when you did?

stopped going outside, and started sitting behind a computer.

Education. I'm just being honest. I'm not saying that all believers are uneducated.

No invisible space chappies.

I was seven when I first heard about the invisible sky critter.
I was surprised grownups could be so silly.
I am still amazed.
Monsters in the closet, under the bed, dancing about on cloudies awaiting requests?
It’s nothing but superstitious nonsense; it’s quite pathetic.
At 63 I have NOT seen-heard anything to cause me a change my mind.

I was 10, and what they were saying in Sunday school just wasn't adding up.

The very first time I heard a contradiction in the teachings, it was like a light came on in my head.
"If this person believes that... and that person believes this... who's right? Oh Sh!t, what if neither of them is? What if nobody is?"
