Not necessarily. I didn't relate to the word "atheist" until I was in my thirties, even though I have been one... probably my whole life. My parents forced me to go to church until they couldn't anymore, and I just took it as some weird ritual my family participated in. I didn't really have an opinion or a view on it until I was in college and I realized the negative effects some religions have on the world.
