I never "chose" to become an atheist. I chose to think about philosophical issues with honesty, and atheism was the result. I had only realized that my belief in God was gone in hindsight.

I do remember having to choose to accept that I had become an atheist in that I had realized that I was comfortable with my rational enlightenment and didn't need to choose to become a "seeker" for a religion. Also, the idea of having become an atheist was a bit scary, given my religious upbringing. I didn't want to call myself one right away, even in the privacy of my own mind.

The age? I think it was in my late teens or early twenties, but I don't recall the exact age. I called myself an agnostic for a few years, and finally called myself an atheist around 25-27 years of age.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.
