If you watch the video in the OP, Bell explains that he decided to do the atheist thing after he realised he'd lost his faith. Also his dismissal/resignation as a SDA minister happened prior to this.

It's a fascinating video.

Good on him! Wow, that's a really public way to lose your faith.

And a very good example of why these people hate free and anonymous speech on the internet.
