To All The Atheists (all 20000000000000 of you) :P

[Solarflare]

At what age did you become atheist?? I became atheist at age 5 LMAO! And no my parents are not Atheist =P

[DrunkenArse]

I, like all other humans, was born an atheist. I'd like to know at what age the theists of the forum decided that they believe in god.

[Oneironaut Zero]

As PS said, every single human on this planet was born atheist. I was raised Baptist, but I'm not quite sure at what age I began my skepticism of organized religion. I settled on agnosticism maybe somewhere around 10-15 years ago, I think? Not sure exactly.

[Descensus]

Atheist until about age 5 or 6, then a Catholic until about age 14-15, and now an atheist again.

[Indeed]

Atheist at twelve, but religion never exactly settled well.

[Snowboy]

Non-religious until 8/9, Christian until pre-teen/teen.

[Marvo]

I questioned the existence of god around the age of 7 or 8, and started to find out about atheism when I was 10.

[Perlinfalcon]

Raised Evangelical. Got pretty into it in high school. Decided it made no sense when I was 19. Atheist ever since.

[Replicon]

Atheist until about age 5 or 6, then a Catholic until about age 14-15, and now an atheist again. That pretty well sums it up for me too.

[changed]

Been a Christian sense I was little, I always questioned my religion and thought I was going to hell for doing so. I became agnostic sometime during 2010 I became an atheist sometime this month. I am proud because I chose my religion not based on my upbringing, but by myself. Religion... Just to clarify the video, one guy is Islam, one guy is Jewish, and the guy who walks up is a Christian, funny isn't it.

When younger, I just believed in religion (my family was Jewish) because I was told it was true. I never really cared to question it. It was just another fact that I assumed adults must be right about because they're adults. (Sorry for this paragraph, I'm extremely tired and think I repeated things a lot or was unclear.) I honestly don't remember when I stopped believing in God. I had a Bat Mivzvah when I was 12-13, and I think I sort of believed in God then... in a sense. But I think at that time I didn't really believe in it. I had bad OCD as a child. I would make supernatural things up subconsciously just to make myself paranoid. I knew they weren't actually real, but I was so afraid I would go along with it anyway. Like, I'd say, I have to go across the room and touch the ceiling or my dog will die. Or I'd start believing in these strange supernatural things, like that my stuffed animals could hear me and I'd have conversations with them. But on some level I didn't actually believe in it. I remember the moment I forced myself to recognize and say aloud that the the stuffed animals weren't real, to admit it in a sense. It was the same with God. That was just another supernatural concept I 'believed' in mostly for OCD reasons, but didn't really believe in it. I think I didn't actually believe in it as I got older, maybe it started around age 8 or so. I didn't consciously come to a realization that I don't believe in God, I just didn't at an honest level. The reason I didn't was simply because there was never any evidence, no reason to think he was real.

[Raspberry]

Always been athiest. My family believe in god in a passive way - as in they don't pray or go to church and still drink and swear etc but still believe. I went to a Christian school and stuff, but it's never ever made any sense to me whatsoever. I mean I understand religion, but it just contradicts itself. Even when I was younger, I would sit and think "yeah right, so how does this happen?" etc.

[Jesus of Suburbia]

I questioned the existence of god around the age of 7 or 8, and started to find out about atheism when I was 10. It's pretty much the same for me, too.

[ninja9578]

Never had a religion.

[nina]

I, like all other humans, was born an atheist. I'd like to know at what age the theists of the forum decided that they believe in god. How do you know all humans are born atheist? Is there some sort of definitive proof of this? How would you even go about testing such a thing? What about those weird kids that can give very clear descriptions of past lives and such?

[Jesus of Suburbia]

How do you know all humans are born atheist? Is there some sort of definitive proof of this? How would you even go about testing such a thing? What about those weird kids that can give very clear descriptions of past lives and such? There's nothing to test. When you're born, you know nothing. Nothing of mathematics, nothing of language, and nothing of religion. And those "weird kids" are either lying or mentally ill.

[MindGames]

Been atheist for a few months now. I was raised Mormon, stopped going to church at around 9 years old, went to a few different churches on and off after that, switched to theistic Satanism (it was more logical than Christianity), then to Paganism, and then I realized how fucking insane religions actually are and became an atheist. I now value my intellect over fairytales. However, the Big Bang had to have been sparked by something. I'm clueless as to how that would have happened.

[JussiKala]

My parents never said a single word to me about any religion, nor atheism. They kept silent about stuff like that I looked at things logically and thought "Who the heck believes this stuff?". To clarify: Always been, always will be unless "God" somehow pops into excistance.

[Maria92]

Around the age of 7 I realized what religion is and that some people actually believe these ludicrous stories. Then I laughed for a bit, concluded there is no god, and went about my happy, successful life. Never went to church or prayed or did anything remotely religious. My dad's an atheist, but I think my mom has some sort of loose-weave belief system. And my sis is an atheist, too.

[insideout]

Looks like I was a bit later than most of you. I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian family. Went to church every Sunday and most Wednesdays until my late teens or early twenties. Around that time I was having serious doubts about God and the Bible. By the time I was 24, I considered myself an atheist.

[Purebred]

I believe in my own god. Am I atheist?

[Spartiate]

I believe in my own god. Am I atheist? No

[Descensus]

I believe in my own god. Am I atheist? Depends on what you mean by god.

[Jesus of Suburbia]

You know what I just realized? There aren't 20,000,000,000,000 people in the world, let alone that many atheists. Unless I'm just reading the number wrong, in which case, carry on.
