I knew I didn't believe in #god when I was about 5 years old. I realized it all at once. I tried to tell my mother, but she didn't understand what I was saying. Even at 5, my ability to obscure meaning presaged my destiny as a poet. After that, I didn't think to mention it to anyone until my teens. It wasn't a subject that came up outside of Sunday School. Ironically for religious revanchists, US society was much more secular then. I don't think children were asked about god so much. #atheist
