I was actually never told there was a Santa Claus (I figured it out by myself); however, the same logic that made me come to that conclusion was also the same logic that 6 or so months later gave me the chilling epiphany that the bible couldn't be real either.
Was anyone else a child that 'found' atheism by themselves (as opposed to your liberal parents just raising you as one)?
me. I usually say around the age of 9 (3rd gd). I never believed but I am sure I had to at some point. The part that got me was "He died for our sins.". I always said 'But he made us?" I didnt know much back then but I knew they had and have the traits wrong. Claiming "nothing" is not reasonable, but a guy dyeing, awaking up, and then flying away ... really?
