Nope, I think some of us are just hard-wired atheists. I don't know that those of us who were atheists when we were children were necessarily less susceptible to bullshit - maybe a certain type of bullshit. I was big into UFOs and ancient astronauts when I was a teenager. I did learn critical thinking later. I got better, as Monty Python might say. My earlier rejection of religion was based on something unconscious. It just didn't feel right at all.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
