I have spent most of my life believing in god, with a long period in my teens and early twenties not caring, not really believing one way or the other, then married a fundy, for a number of years was full on christian, mainly in the hope that god would make my marriage bearable, and my ex into a decent father and husband. Well that never happened, so then for the past 15 years i was moving away from any belief, first very slowly, and then recently admitting I was an atheist, and had been for a while, without acknowledging it.
