I don't think I ever truly believed the christian, specifically catholic, doctrine I was brought up with. I just kind of accepted that this was my family's accepted world view and I never really thought about. Maybe at one point I believed in God, or something like a God, but a couple years ago I must of seen or read something (I can't remember what) that got me questioning and actually thinking about religion and God for the first time, then I started watching and reading all the Hitchens/Dawkins etc. shit (never really cared much for Dawkins, Hitchens and Matt Dillahunty were big influences though) and did a whole lot of independant thinking and reflection... it all started to make very little sense, eventually I became totally unconvinced, and by default became an athiest. It was really the philisophical arguments that spoke to me the most, like THE1's latest thread for example ("Why create the Universe?").
