I spent the first 16 to 17 years of my life as a member of the mormon church, going to church every sunday and going to young mens every tuesday, babtised at the age of 11, I even got to the point of blessing the sacrement and was about a year away from going on a mission.

eventially my mother and sister managed to convert me to christianity and for a few short months I belived every word that was said by the ministers at the particular church my mum goes to, then I came onto one of the religious threads in this forum and bullet magnet completely shook my view on the accuracy of the bible, then I decided to form a belief system of my own which was basically god in the gaps, and whenever I was unsure of something I tried to think it through logically but I always belived there was a god and he was a fair god.

but when my interest in science got stronger and I decided to find out as much as I could about the scientific view of the universe, and there were less and less things that I could give credit to god for, I eventially found myself beliving in a god who was created with the universe rather than him creating it, and he mearly adjusted matter and maybe the laws of physics to start the long process of the earth being formed and life starting, and then hasn't done anything since.

it was when I got to this point that I decided to abandon my blanket belief in a fair god definately existing and decided to belive only what can be accurately determined, and I could find no logical path to beliving in god or the afterlife, so I take the stand point of atheist untill proven otherwise
