Atheist students

Interviewed by a Christian group doing research, atheist students answered the question:  "What led you to become an atheist?"  

Their answers were often the rational/scientific objections you might expect.  But there was more. 

Many had a church background.  But it sounds, in this article from The Atlantic, like many were disappointed in their church by a lack of belief, commitment, and serious engagement with the important questions of life.  Some actually said that they would not respect any Christian who didn't try to recruit them to faith.
