Speaking only for myself, it was the realization at the age of 11 that these pious fucks were not all that bright that led me to begin to question the whole edifice. It cannot stand up under close scrutiny. Too many absurd assertions propped up with too many outright lies.
It still puzzles me how people avoided ever being religious at such a young age. Maybe your brains developed a lot quicker because I remember that in 1999 (I was 9) I got fooled into thinking the world was going to end when the calendar hit 2000. I was pretty miserable during those days!
