That's when a child's reasoning skills really start to get developed, and they begin to forge out his/her own identity.
That's when I became an atheist, but I think the way I was raised was a recipe to make an atheist. I was raised with a strong focus on the scientific method and was exposed to religion every Sunday without indocrination. In fact, my parents never, ever mentioned their religion except for the two times I have brought it up. Combine exposure like that to religion with an emphasis on empirical evidence and there's a good chance you're going to get an atheist.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
