How and why a human become an atheist

I am certain God exists, but I need to know how and why atheists become atheistic.

So, paging any atheist, please explain how and why you become an atheist, that will motivate me to know God better.

Believers in one religion are usually atheists about all the other religions. The Christian doesn't believe in Allah, the Muslim doesn't believe in Jesus, etc.

I am myself an atheist. I respect others right to believe as they wish, AS LONG as they respect my right to believe as I wish.

In the U.S. we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that guarantees freedom of religion. As long as they respect tolerance we are OK. But if they try to force their religion on others who believe differently, then we got a big problem.

@badminton I have long thought that your Constitution should have ensured freedom of or from religion.
