    Yeah, that’s what I thought it was too. I’m just saying that “some people” aren’t “most people who become atheists”.

      I’d agree that it’s not a leading cause. To your list though I’d add that some people are pushed too hard to be believers, and reject it, or grew up in an area where people are just flat-out obsessed with religion and it ends up putting their hypocrisy in view.

        Depending on your point of view, those could be partially or fully extensions of my list points; but yeah, there are plenty of good reasons to be an atheist. I myself am an ex-Christian agnostic theist. My churches were Baptist, and… yeah, none of that crap anymore. xD
