Search Results: true religion

I used to be religious and fairly devout. But what eventually left me with no choice but to renounce my faith and abandon my beliefs was actually learning more and more about my religion.

At that point I was an agnostic theist, so I still believed in God. But after looking at a few other religions, looking at religious people, and also learning about things like Evolution, it became inevitable and inextricable that I become an Atheist as the only logical conclusion.

It also became apparent to me that many Atheists know religious texts better than the religious people who subscribe to those religions, and that like me, that was also a main source of their disbelief.

So do you think that knowledge & enlightenment about religion generally leads to a more atheistic worldview?
