Let�s try together to create a plan how to become an atheist. It can be similar to plans how to quit drinking or overcome anger, etc.

Step 2. Read the bible
That could well convince one of the non-existence of the God of the bible, but not gods in general. Step 3: Question everything. Accept nothing on "faith". |

I haven't the slightest where this would fall number-wise in the steps but I think fairly close to the top...
Learn the basics (at least) of logic and critical thinking. |

I think step 4 and the modified step 2 could be combined. Learn about the world's religions, their origins, and their sacred texts.
