Don't be sorry, it's a fact of life and something we can all get behind.

What prompted the move from agnostic to atheist, if you don't mind me asking?

Better quality of beer, probably.

Butt, butt, butt....
This thread has suddenly descended to the level of toilet humour. Really shit. Scraping the bottom of the barrel now I think. Time to withdraw...

That's kind of you to ask, SGR - but I'm afraid there's no dramatic answer. After years of literal indoctrination at school, I shifted to agnostic. Later on I became mildly interested in astronomy, inspired by Isaac Azimov's great book, The Universe.
With all that science, the idea of a God became less and less plausible to me, then about 30 years later it occured to me: I don't need a God, I can't imagine a God, so that's when I changed my designation. (Prompted partly by living in Mexico, where 83% of the people are Catholics and churches are full every Sunday. People are so convinced that their religion is the norm that I have had students ask me without preamble in front of the class, "Are you a Catholic?". That was the question that made me think that I should have a firm answer. Funniest moment was when I told one student I was an athiest and she said in a surprised voice, "But you're a nice person!!")
