If kids always believed what their parents believed then belief would have remained static since the beginning of time.

Kids grow into adults who can change their minds.

So much for not being a hypocrite, huh?

Not sure what you mean...

Say it with me "Hmn, well, I;d always thought that atheists -x-...but I guess I was wrong about that." "Hmn, well I -x-, but I guess not everybody would be like me."   There's no reason to double or triple down on some silly bit of bullshit.

I'm not. As you have implied, my beliefs are somewhat surprising to you.

Wow, read any good Poe lately?

Okay, you've had your lark.  Now why don't you tell us who you really are and what you actually believe.  Bye.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change, 
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence.
