This isn't my testimony (I did that a couple years ago), but it's an article article about losing faith in religion that includes a few links to resources for anyone going through the process:

"For years I had been patching my Christian faith together,

as I like to say, with duct tape and bailing wire."

~

"Now, finally, after two decades of warping my feelings,

perceptions and intellect to defend the absolute goodness

of the Christian God, I got mad. I said to the god in my head,

"I’m not making excuses for you anymore. I quit."

 

This was my experience also. I was unable to reconcile my beliefs (or what I was supposed to believe) about God with the stark reality of what I observed and experienced.

 

The day I stopped making excuses for God's behavior/lack thereof, the day I stopped defending God, is the day it all started to slide.

 

And here I am!
