Roughly 46 years.
Mum tried to do the "right thing and give us a religious grounding" and then when I was about 12 said that it was a load of crap, "What Fucking Benevolent god kills a newborn with cot death??" and we were to make up or own minds.
I tried the "Bible study groups" in early High school (peer pressure trying to fit in) and realised @ about 14 that they were just pretentious forums so the "Good xtian girls could get laid" for me though I actually READ the stupid text and decided that "religion" was not for me.
So while in some respects I 'fit' the Atheist template I generally don't deal with labels because I don't really fit the stereotyping that comes with them.....meh
