Apparently in my earliest years, when I was at that YMCA church, I was bringing home some really odd ideas, according to my mother, so she eventually withrdew me. I was maybe 8? I was attending with a babysitter. Maybe around 10, I started going to the UU church. It was with another babysitter. I really embraced it, and my mother liked that I liked it. During that time, I loved my YRUU (youth worship), and in my own estimate had even weirder concepts (of God and such) floating in my head.

Only in 2006 did I really declare my Atheism to myself, thanks to a convo with my father where I suddenly (through no effort of his, even though he's a non-beliver too) got the idea of nothingness, which was transformative for me.
