My change to Atheism had more to do with the behaviors I saw in people who would call themselves Christians. I would go to church and try to see for myself, on my own I had even tried several different churches as a teenager trying to decide what was right for me. I was led to feel it was wrong to not believe in anything.
In the end, I watched people who claimed their religions living selfish lives and doing seemingly everything against what was being taught. I accepted that I was a good person and full of the ability to carry through with positives things in my life. I did not feel the need to grab onto a religion in effort to make myself a better person, while watching those who did seemingly to make themselves feel better about the mistakes they were making.
I am not sure if this makes sense to you. The bottom line is that I did not feel a need to be validated accepting that I was good in my own healthy ways.
