Made a web diagram showing the forms of Atheism... Pretty good if you ask me :)
Boxes show the name(s), below which you can read the definition

REASON:
I'm NOT an Atheist, but in hopes of better understanding why Atheists think the way they do, and the various ways in which that expresses itself, I started looking into it... Days later, I finished this
Wrote key words and definitions as I came across them... I often visited other websites Wikipedia sited as a source, and used Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/ to find concise definitions if one wasn't available (often I compiled definitions from various sources to make it as simple as possible)
Jotted questions I had about any terms, and looked up answers
NOTE: At this point it's critical to gather as much information possible (otherwise I'd have to keep adjusting the diagram, or adding footnotes stating the change -- which is a pain :P )
Typed my notes I'd taken, and copied/pasted anything from the computer I wanted to use (mostly definitions)
Put info into a visual form (diagram) Inspired by Visualizing Data http://www.visualisingdata.com/ and David McCandless' TED Talk [ watch here ]... I tried different ways of showing the forms visually, but the diagram looked best (using Google Drawing--which wasn't the easiest, but ended up fine)
Version after version, adding more and more info, it finally ended up something I was proud of
Took a screenshot using Awesome Screenshot (an extension for Google Chrome)
[ Chrome web store link ] of my Google Drawing (after adding a white background)... I know I could have just saved the image, but I love using this app :D
Then I posted the diagram on a few religious and atheistic forums, asking for any suggestions (if I missed anything)
