'Convert' to atheism? I don't think so. A religious person becomes an atheist because he / she changes her mind on the matter. 'Conversion' is not involved in such a process, so the description of it as such is at best a mistake and at worst a willful distortion of what actually happens.

As for the reasons why people change their mind regarding religion, they are personal to the persons concerned and I fail to see why anyone should be interested in them.
