When did your belief begin?

Chances are, if your parents were religious, that you were indoctrinated from a very early age and have no memory of when you started believing. If this is you then I would like to know your very earliest memory of your belief and how your concept of God has changed since you've matured. Your age would be a good note here too if you don't mind.

A smaller percentile will have missed the indoctrination for any of a multitude of reasons and found your way to religion on your own terms. From you, I'd like to know what age you began your journey, what was going on in your life at the time and how the church or your belief or God himself has helped you.

Please include details about your current beliefs and practices. I promise to only ask meaningful questions and implore my fellow atheists to respectfully adhere to this as well.
Thank you.
