==The time to question anything is at anytime, no matter what your age is.
The problem with some parents is that they take advantage of the trusting nature of kids and insert religion into them.
Some parents keep their kids as kids instead of teaching them how to be an adult. Part of being an adult, a fully functional adult means being a skeptic. Question everything.
Seth Andrews has a video about it. He used to be a hardcore atheists until age 28.
He has a nice voice and did christian radio. That is, until he met Matt Dillahunty who deprogrammed him.

I deprogrammed myself at age 11 or 12. I used to be a christian.
We need to teach kids how to be curious, how to be skeptics, the value of scientific research. A good dose of philosophy, teaching people about all religions would help to leave behind the old days.
“It wasn't until we had you (I was born 3 months early and ended up having no disabilities, thank you doctors) that I knew God was real.”
==That’s not how you determine that a god is real. And also, which god? The god of that your parents thought you about and the religion that goes along with it?
If you were hindu, then you would be certain now that the hindu gods are real.
If you were a russian from thousands of years ago, then you would be certain that the russian gods are real.
If you were a mongolian from thousands of years ago, then you would be certain that the mongolians gods are real.
And so forth.
Well, I am glad that you survived, your mother survived.
I suggest that you go to the priesthood thing and such and learn as much as you can. Do you enjoy learning?
Prepare some files, take notes.
