I never believed in Jesus.. (and later the various Gods that were put before me in Islam and the demigod of Buddism - Siddhartha - the god that people worship but don't call "god" 
) I never believed in a personal God.. I prayed to the universal consciousness that would help end the horrific things I viewed in life.. There was no objective standard with which to measure the outcomes to my prayers.. so I could never be really sure that they were answer..
Ironically, if I did something "wrong" I was always immediately held accountable for the consequences that I were liable for.. Natural consequences follow me.. So, I believed less in God and more in Karma for a long while.. lol.. and realized that if there were a God HE/SHE only seemed to be interested in keeping me in my place rather than giving me the tools necessary to avoid strife in the first place..
The truth is I've never believed.. and as a child that was a frightening thing..
