We have quite a few atheist converts on LW. How about a poll?

Upvote if you converted to atheism, and Richard Dawkins made the conversion neither easier nor harder.

HonoreDB created a way to embed polls here instead of using karma.

I converted long before I heard of Dawkins. Reading God Delusion at work made for a very awkward conversation with my boss once, but he was the one who came out as a dick, and after that, everybody has been pretty quiet about the whole religion thing.

What counts as a "conversion"? I was baptized Catholic, but my family was otherwise extremely lapsed. I don't think I really believed in anything that strongly before briefly dabbling in various esoteric practices. JREF and Gödel, Escher, Bach convinced me otherwise.
