I am an Indian atheist/skeptic. Having found most other India-related forums to be full of arrogant religious Hindus, I am very happy to see this forum set up specifically for atheist discussion.
About myself, I grew up in a moderately religious household, and became very religious for a few years. Though I was religious, I always tried to read up on interesting articles and books about science and belief. Eventually, after discovering Richard Dawkins, I became convinced that I was wrong. For a few days, I went through the "I am an atheist Hindu" phase but that got old soon. So I became an atheist and have been one for the past 4-5 years.
