Passive Atheist? What the hell? I've no idea, I just pulled out of a hat somewhere along the line.
As a child I was confused by the "knowledge" that someone named Christ died to save me yet loved me, somehow even at the tender age of six or seven it didn't compute. The whole concept of "God" who looked over me (kept his eye on every sparrow) just didn't make sense so I guess I have been an atheist from the very beginning.
Still I grew up in a Christian world and more or less accepted the concept of a God and eventually came to the conclusion that maybe God did not exist but if he/she/they did I'd go to heaven (another concept I was skeptical of) because I felt I lived a basically Christan life and therefore would be "forgiven" (for what I had no idea).
Over the intervening years I became more and more convinced there was no such thing as a God, heaven or hell. After a stint in the military and subsequent collage, member of a number of different churches, three baptisms and many prayers never answered I decided I was, indeed, an atheist. Today I am even more convinced atheism is the only possible position.
