Lotta atheists tell the same story just with different small details. Wanted to learn more about own religion. Researched religion. Learned religion was a giant pile of crap. Explored other religions. Gradually came to realize didn't need the supernatural crap.

I can easily see a lot of people never taking that final step. They don't identify with a religion because of the bad taste but are still attached to the woo. Enter the shysters like Derpak Chopra.
