Julia Sweeney takes us through her experiences with Catholicism, Buddhism, Deepak Chopra, and eventual atheism. Terribly funny and true to life. There are two moments in particular that rang very true to me: talking to the Mormon boys and realising their story wasn't any less ridiculous than her Catholic story, and quietly realising in panic that she didn't believe in God anymore.

I like stories like this much better than the Dawkins approach. I think it's important to show the true motives and process behind deconversion and the benefits of atheism while maintaining respect for belief.
