Personally, I think I became atheist around age 8 and I can't remember what happened then, so I can't say anything useful from a first-hand perspective.

For debunking the concept of gods, have a look at Loftus' Outsider Test for Faith, I suppose. It's a little bit confusing because you asked about the concept of gods in general, but if you're Christian you don't believe in the concept of gods in general, you believe in a specific god. Loftus makes a good case that odds are that your specific god is nonexistent. He's a bit wordy.

As for not looking for a debate, have a look at Everybody is Wrong about God by Lindsay. He talks about what people want from a god in practice. It's mostly noncognitive, so debates are literally irrelevant.

I agree with other posters that Darwin isn't particularly relevant. I'm told Catholics believe in evolution, so apparently evolution doesn't matter much.

I'd like to ask a Christian at some point about how they maintain belief in the Bible. Is it inerrant, or is it half metaphor, and how one reconciles the idea of God being Good with the other evidence at hand, that sort of thing. This is separate from the project you have in mind. You said you aren't interested in "attacks" on the Bible, but if you are willing to have that conversation, let me know.

Edit: On second thought, no, let's not have that conversation. You did an obvious argumentum ad populum in this comment elsewhere in this thread

>Secondly, if it was so simple that this all-loving creator should step in to avert disaster and he obviously isn't doing so (according to our observable understanding of "obvious"), why are there so many people that believe in it, and insist that it is a loving creator?

and I don't have patience for people who spout obvious fallacies. Most people in the world think Christianity is false, so argumentum ad populum works against you if you use it. Popularity of a belief is driven by numerous things unconnected with the truth of the belief.
