No, never. My parents always insisted that There Is No God and that I should never let anyone tell me otherwise. It was a bit narrow minded and aggressive in hindsight, but still infinitely better than the alternative. I went to live with my aunt when I was 12, who is very spiritual, for want of a better word, but also very relaxed about belief systems and she encouraged me to figure things out for myself. I stuck to atheism, but it was nice to have the choice.
