The Conversion Story of a Kid

The Conversion Story of a Kid
I'm currently 13 Years of Age. I was a Christian up to age 9. at 10 I was a confused Christian, and I fully converted to Atheism at 11. Here's my Story.

I was one of those kids that always questioned things, and the bible was the biggest book of questions to me. when I went to church as a young lad, I would always ask my sunday school teacher or preacher questions about things the bible said, I would always get a dirty look from the teacher and preacher, I mean ffs I was a kid, they should've expected me to ask questions, but everybody else just listened along like everything they heard was factual. I'm the kinda guy that likes proof, and that's something Christianity didn't give me. "Have Faith" they'd say. Have Faith isn't a viable excuse to Ignore the absence of proof.
Here's a more recent story that's been in the back of my head: Me and a friend were just having a conversation about God and Jesus, (this friend is christian but respects my opinions, he's no hardcore christian, ect.) and I wasn't meaning for anybody to hear me, but I noticed this one kid, quite a heavy follower of God, and I asked him why God would allow Innocent children to die. My question was a lot more elaborative than that, but that sums it. His response was "God works in mysterious ways" and "It's all part of his plan" What kind of sick fuck has Infant Death in his "plan". Also, I realize that a majority of christians believe that It's God "Testing your faith", that takes me back to my original statement "what kind of sick fuck would do such a thing to "test faith"" Isn't getting up and apologizing for being a human every sunday (totes didn't still that from a wallpaper) and singing about him enough, what else does he need?
Here are some of my favorite quotes that gave me a nice laugh when I was converting to Atheism "If God is real, he's got some explaining to do" and obviously the Infamous Epicurus Quote "“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” "
I have a strong disbelief in any deity. Even If God was real, I honestly doubt I'd be a christian. Also, as a child I realized there were thousands of religions, and I asked "How do I know I'm following the right one?" so I answered that, by following none of them.
My older brother and mother support me when it comes to Religious views, but my dad would boot me out of the house the second he found out I'm an atheist, which is why, for now I'm keeping it from him.

I could go on for hours about my story, but I'll keep it "short". If you have any questions about my beliefs, please ask below!
