Bill Maher's documentary Religulous opened my eyes when it came to understanding how religion dominates the world. I didn't identify with Atheism until I saw Richard Dawkins' various interviews where he debunked several claims about god, and through that I became an Atheist.

I actually sat down and started READING the Bible. The more I read the more I realized it was not about how man was created. It was a bunch of tales about how a religion was created and how it was just a tool used to control men. Can anyone actually read the whole Noah story without saying "this is total unadulterated bullshit"?

This one right here is when i really started questioning religion and how ridiculous the idea of a god seemed!

Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett. It's fantasy with a comedic bent, but I was agnostic by the time I finished it.

I bet I have the most ridiculous answer. It was watching the episode of "Futurama" called "The Late Phillip J. Fry" where Fry, Professor Farnsworth and Bender get stuck in a time machine that can only go forward. Eventually time repeats itself and they get back to where they started, but the grand, cosmic setting and scale of the episode really got me thinking....

Not the exact image I remember, but this comparison of Noah's ark to the Titanic was so simple that it got me to read the bible and it was confirmed in the first few pages of Genesis.
