I have never been athiest; I don't consider myself more athy than anyone else, never mind the most athy. However, I have been an atheist for at least as long as I can remember. I have no memory of ever even entertaining, let alone having, any superstitious beliefs. Growing up in the time and place I did was probably the best grounding I could ever have for the development of an enquiring mind and critical thinking. My parents, especially my Dad, encouraged my passion for astronomy from the youngest age I can remember, a consequence of which being I've always seen the Universe and never the heavens.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
