Eh, for my part, has little to do with the books/media... but I was an evangelical for a good while, and have walked increasingly further away from the fold on my own, and married an agnostic-atheist as well. I don't know what all that has to do with "the time" or media itself, but it's possible that I am unaware of that influence in my life. I always considered a rather personal journey.
My thinking has morphed significantly away from "the right" over time and growth, and I have found myself on the left at this point... simply because it makes the most sense to me (something I used to say about Christianity, actually). Not so much a political backlash, perhaps, but a personal one that is still in process.
Overall, though, I would say that the last straw for my belief has been the last 4 years of pursuing my advanced degree in anthropology. I don't know how evangelical anthropologists make it through their secular programs and are still able to make sense of the world according to their belief, to be honest.
