I don't believe I, or anyone else, has ever "found out that gods do not exist", I simply became aware of the lack of a good reason to believe such a thing, that was around the age of 5-6. I largely put this early realization down to my love of Egyptian mythology, seeing the similarities (and in my opinion the superiority) of the Egyptian religious narratives compared to the "Judeo-Christian" ones while at the same time being told by obnoxious authority figures that the former was false and the later were true for no other reason, it seemed, than the name of the book in which the stories were contained - This is all despite my frequent attendance of "Sunday schools" with friends who had religious parents.
I don't doubt that the absolute lack of religious encouragement by my parents had something to do with it also.
