I probably did believe at some point. Kids usually believe what their parents tell them. All I can remember about it though is the realization that I was surrounded by grown-ups who believed something akin to fairy tales. It was an odd sensation and it's stayed with me in a way most other memories from my early childhood have not. But if that was it, the answer is during the course of a twenty minute sermon about talking snakes in trees.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
