I first had my doubts when I was really young. I distinctly remember looking up at the clouds one day (corny yes i know) and seeing those flat rippled clouds that go across the whole sky. I thought to myself that heaven must of been passing over. I then went inside and sure enough Discovery was having some Storm Warning! type show and it explained how clouds were formed..and well I thought it made more sense, explained rain and everything. Since then modern science/common sense seems to make more sense to me then blind faith in something that cannot be proven.
When i started to truely dislike organized religion was when I met my first fanatic. We met under the great circumstances of her slapping me to the group because I said "Jesus!" when I cut my finger in shop class. I then debated with her the stupidity of actually physically striking someone due to something so inane, and she pitied me and told me I was going to hell. Turned me off church goers.
Of course I also disagree with how the Church uses its power to further it's own ends. How it has hindered progress rather then help it (although monks helped us get out of the dark ages), and all the other historical blunders it is famous for.
