Atheists, do you remember a time in your life when you actually believed in the existence of a god? What was this like?
I remember being taught the usual bullshit as a child but my family aren't religious so it never really sunk in as important to me. I went through a rough phase at high school when I turned to christianity, but I think I was always kidding myself, in the back of my mind I always felt it was all ridiculous. I don't think I've ever truly believed in anything other than, stuff that makes sense. (Santa claus made sense to me when I was 5).
Are there atheists here who have actually truly believed at some point or is there a sense in all religion followers of trying to convince themselves it is true?
