For the atheists that previously had a religion

What was it that made you lose faith? Was it a gradual process for you or was it sudden?
For me I was previously catholic and became an atheist very early, but I actually myself cant remember what it was that made me change. I do think that being told that being gay was a sin kind of helped me in being put off by religion but I don't think that was what did it though. But that was in the past, now I'm older and can understand the different arguments for and against religion, I am currently reading the bible and the inconsistencies, the barbaric rules and how far science has come in already disproving one aspect of the bible, creation, through evolution is what, I think, makes me an atheist today. So that's me, now I'm very curious to those that can remember what was the tipping point for you? Thanks :)
