I think I came to conclusion I'm at with religion by being in the position where I could poke at the idea long enough until it started to unravel in my mind. Having grown up having a large number of arguments with my mother from a young age, I learnt that the only way to get any ground is to argue back. I think that helped me a lot in that respect. It also allowed the idea that "parent's aren't automatically right" to fit in my head also.
I don't think Atheism is a religious belief, it's the lack of a religious belief.
