I was a Christian in high school, not devout but I took it somewhat seriously. After getting completely turned off by what was happening in the Catholic church at the time, I decided to really give atheism a try and to at least hear out their arguments.
I was really shocked at how dumb their arguments/apologetics were. After really trying to understand it, it really boils down to "religions are bad, therefore god doesn't exist". This led me to wonder what was happening in society in general, because I thought that these were the smartest people in the world defending the smartest worldview there is. Yet here these people are, making these non sequitur arguments, and not even getting called out for it. This is when I started to see through leftism, secularism, and most of all, academia in general. In general these academic atheist types have no respect for philosophy whatsoever. It's all just a show. That was over 10 years ago and every year I just get more confirmation on how much of a racket modern academia is. It's sad seeing other kids go through college and not seeing through this BS.
Sam Harris is the absolute worst when it comes to what I'm talking about. I can't stand listening to him. He's a professional book salesman and charlatan, nothing more. And I don't like these guys like Peterson who have to know how philosophically illiterate Harris is, but debate him anyway for the exposure.
Jay dyer does a really good job breaking down some of these famous debates for normies, if you want to hear a sane deconstruction of modern day BS.

Not a red pilled but made an atheist think hard by saying - Religion has done a good job of doing the devils work for him.
