Which would you think is a harder choice? Becoming an atheist as a kid/teen or becoming one as an adult? [Spirituality & Religion]

Both are equally as hard but I'd say probably an atheist as a kid, they live in religious households and could be at risk of getting into the system if their families reject them. There's actually a fairly good amount of LGBT youth out on the streets because their families rejected them out of religious beliefs or they just get kidnapped to one of those religious camps in some developing country.

It's just like with the Amish if you ever seen that one reality show where they show youth wanting to go out into the world away from their community. They are completely banned from their families except the ones who visit them.

So this is just my opinion but kids are way vulnerable, they don't even have a job or any autonomy by that age.

Went from atheist to believer

I didn't decide to stop believing. I stopped believing because the claim that a god exists has not met its burden of proof and the evidence we can examine very noticeably contradicts what we would expect to find if a god existed.

Maybe a god exists but it is just a super being and we are of no more interest to it than the average pebble is to us. In that case there's no reason to act as though one exists at all let alone worship it.

As an adult.

I became one as a teenager.

I think it was probably easier for me doing it young.

Felt abandoned. Like the universe didn't care about me.

I stopped when I was 13. Idk what would be harder. But good question

There are no such people that are atheists. As long as your alive, you're going to believe some type of god and have faith in that god. As for your question, it's harder for an adult to stop trusting in the one true God than it is for a kid to stop trusting Him.

I went the other way. I was an atheist though out my teens and twenties. I became a Christian when I was almost 30.

I’m not sure how one “decides” not to believe in something. One either believes or they don’t. You can decide not to [b]tell[/b] anyone, and as a child it’s probably easier to do that, since you’re less likely to have much choice.
