For me it came rather gradually. Day-by-day thing. 

The more I learned, the more atheist I've become.

No big aha moment for me either. For me it was a process. I began to wonder why truth and salvation was regional (If born in the US your exposed to Christianity- Middle East exposed to Islam and so on).

This lead to even more questions and then finally I realized I was an Atheist and had been for a while.

No a-ha! moment for me either. It was a gradual process started when I saw " What bleep do we knou?"

We are all born atheists, without any notion of any supernatural. It's deluded parents who sway our minds to folly. My parents were crummy in a lot of regards, but they never mentioned, not once, god or jesus at home, so it never even dawned on me to consider the existence of anything supernatural. Once I got to school, they tried to convert me (school system was still catholic back then). I had a couple of weeks (literally) of doubts, around the age of 12-13 under pressure from my good friends at the time, but it was short lived, since there was zero evidence... So I dismissed my doubts, and those friends, they were not worth my time.

It was really more of an 'oh, I don't really have reason to believe that either.'

 

It took a bit longer to realize that being an atheist is pretty awesome.

My Aha! atheist moment was when I realized that no matter what I did, or how hard I tried to make it so, a concept of a loving God was not logical. It was a devestating moment.

I hate going to church (I'm still forced to) and have always been, and I've always had doubts, but trusted my parents that they were right. I DID have an AHA moment, though, after watching Zeitgeist, and even though I now reject a lot of the ideas expressed by it, I still accept that 'God'doesn't exist.
