I was lucky, though, my parents didn't push religion on me at all, they let me make up my own mind. I didn't realize there was such a thing as an "atheist" till I was older, I just figured there were a lot of stupid people about who believed a bunch of stupid nonsense.
Of course you're right - some people just work it out on their own. I asked my mother when I was around that age if she believed in god. No, she said, there's no evidence for him. That was it for me. Still waiting on evidence.
