However, I cannot imagine a believer simply waking up one morning and deciding that they would no longer believe in gods. It seems to me that, for those who sincerely believe, there must first be a process. There needs to be an erosion or demolition of all the empty arguments and false evidence that previously supported belief in the person's mind. One cannot just dismiss in an instant all those reasons for belief when they have worked so well for many years. Strong ideas have to confront weak ideas. It takes time.
