Welcome cappytan!
It seems everyone has a certain journey regarding faith where many of us exit.
I used to believe in the invisible, silent, ominipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Sky Daddy too. This is what I was told to believe as a child. We are all molded to believe certain things as children. But as adults, we need to use our critical thinking skills and our intellectual honesty about these beliefs. What is working and what is not? Getting educated about what we've been told versus what is, in reality, fact, is key.
I started my journey of non-belief as a 10 year old girl. The Ethiopian famine of the late 1960s/early 1970s had me questioning the claim that God is loving, merciful, and all-powerful. When one hears day in and day out of thousands of people dying of starvation, one begins to question the voracity of such claims. In other words, what is really happening is NOT substantiating the belief statements. My journey continued as a teenager where I began disagreeing with the Watchtower's doctrine and interpretation of scripture. Two of my biggest issues were, and still are, the misogyny, both religious and Biblical, as well as the strict no-blood policy. I knew as a teenage girl there was no way I could ever subjugate myself to my husband. And I could not fathom for the life of me how a symbol of life (aka blood) could be far more important than life itself.
I used to believe in the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus too. But then I grew up. Perhaps losing faith is part of the maturation process..
