[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t “become” an atheist, I just never believed. 
I was raised an Orthodox Jew and from as early as I can remember, thought it was all nonsense. When I was about six, I apparently piped up at Shabbat dinner “what if Jesus really was the messiah and you’re all waiting around for nothing?” 
I mostly kept my mouth shut though, and when I moved away from home for college, just very naturally and without planning or thinking about it, ate pork, didn’t observe Shabbat or any holidays, dated non Jews, and generally lived a life completely absent of religion. 
I have a great relationship with my family and my former rabbi and still feel that Orthodox Judaism is the only legitimate way to practice. But I do not, nor do I believe in god. My father is an atheist too but finds comfort and community in his religious observance. [/quote]

I've heard of other people like this, who, regardless of being raised in a religion (any religion), it never "took" and they stopped their involvement as soon as they could. [/quote]
