Age of Deconversion

[John 6IX Breezy]

No.  Nothing about my atheism has changed over the course of my life.   I hear the stories, and I don't believe them.  I didn't believe them then, I don't believe them now.

I'm mainly asking if the reasons for not believing have changed, not the beliefs themselves. Our reasons for things tend to change throughout the lifespan, particularly from childhood to adulthood. You can see this more clearly when it comes to moral reasoning; many children are very concrete and will say stealing is wrong because its against the rules, but as adults you begin to think more abstractly, dissociating rules from morals, such that stealing can be wrong regardless of the rules.

That progression in reasoning is what I'm trying to better understand when it comes to those that stopped believing in God during childhood.
