Atheism is the default position. Christianity never is. I grew up without any belief and very little influence. I was, despite exposure at schools etc, clueless about what religion was really about. I concluded what anyone would, that people have expressed many times here. It's only with serious representation of the facts and reasoning for belief that I considered it.
Then, after accepting and believing, I chose not to believe. I didn't suffer personally at all for this decision. My experience was purely intellectual. My perspective on many things immediately changed, and also gradually changed on others.
A couple of years ago when I considered it again I found myself reasoning for Christianity and made a choice to be a Christian again.
