I enjoyed reading your story, Vynn.  I always enjoy your insightful posts, as well.

Theist- Faith at first, then logic purely, which rekindled faith.

I don't even remember how I deconverted.  I think I went through many stages.  I think.  I just remember that in the summer holidays after graduating from high school, I still considered myself religious, and in the first year of uni I was a deist, I gradually became an ignostic, then a neopagan and then a militant agnostic atheist. 

How could I forget how it happened?  I don't get it.

"The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief--call it what you will--than any book ever written."
     -A.A. Miline (creator of Winnie the Pooh.)

I pretty much did some of this. I read select parts of the bible and then did a lot of personal logic and searching.  In the end I realized I could live my life without God and go on feeling and acting the same way and be the exact same person.  I did have a few moments early in my self-deconversion, where I was depressed, lonely, and withdrawn.  I felt weird for not believing in God when all my friends, family, teachers, and my entire town believe in God. Ultimately I read more and more and embraced my atheism as a better choice. And through readings by Madalyn O'Hair, Richard dawkins, David mills, and Sam Harris, I found religion is delusional and completely unneeded. I don't hate theists and I would never want to take away any persons beliefs but religion to me is completely unnecessary and full of complete hypocrisy.
