Age of Deconversion

RE: Age of Deconversion
(November 20, 2019 at 10:15 pm)John 6IX Breezy Wrote: For those that stopped believing, or never believed, before the age of 14, have your reasons for not believing change since then? Arguably, our knowledge of the world is very limited at that age. We barely know what taxes are, let alone have any deep scientific or philosophical foundations to arrive at a reasonable conclusion on such a topic. Yet, many arrive at one anyway, whether it be for or against the belief in God.

So, my question isn't weather your conclusion changed as you got older, since most of you stayed atheist. Rather, I'm wondering if the reasons for that conclusion have changed and grown since that point? Looking back, do you feel that your reasoning was correct or incorrect?

For example (and I apologize if I singled you out) Chad32 said he thought everyone in the world was Christian, and learning that this wasn't the case played a partial role in losing his faith. So I would ask him if, looking back, he feels he was wrong to have thought that in the first place? And if so, how did that affect his stance on the matter later on?

Hope my question makes sense.

So far, nothing has convinced me that a god or gods exist.  I have 62 years of not being convinced and I don't really think it's in my future for that to change.
