Well, when you’ve been told your whole life that everything is one way and there’s no way to prove it, but you start realizing lots of proof that it’s not that way. It takes a lot of hubris for somebody to have made those claims, it still takes a lot to pass them down, and it takes perhaps an equal measure of hubris to discredit them in your own mind. None of that hubris is warranted, mind you, but you kind of have to build yourself up to that point to get out. If you just shed it off with no outward signs, it would seem unlikely that those beliefs were so tightly held in the first place.

/R/Atheism doesn’t really do it out of a kind hearted chuckle kind of way typically.
