I rejected god at 13. Picked him back up about 19 then rejected him again at about 25.
Though a person can also reject God simply by rejecting goodness/love in the first place.
I wasn't making the specification of being born atheist or not. I don't see why that part would play a difference.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
