Sixteen.
I converted shortly after I realized there were other options. I never really gave religion much thought, but the moment I did, it all came crashing down. Like, literally instantly. One second I'm a Christian, the next I'm a pseudo-atheist. (I considered myself agnostic at first, but I eventually acknowledged that the probability of god existing was so small that it wasn't even worth consideration. I was probably an atheist deep down, but I was resistant to the idea at first, probably because of the negative potrayal of atheists in the media, etc. I think it was somewhere between three and six moths after I became pseudo-atheist/agnostic before I admitted to myself that I was an atheist.)
