Back when I was about six years old I heard a hellfire and brimstone sermon by Dr. Billy Graham on TV. Only my grandmother was deeply religious in my family so I had something like nightmares. When I was taught Evolutionary Theory in Grade 2 I felt a deep sense of relief and became an atheist!
When I was about 13 I began to listen to TV evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong who was extremely good at showing that Darwinian evolutionary theory was extremely highly improbable. He also taught the "soul sleep" theory which seemed like a major improvement over an ever burning hell!
I began to read the Bible and finally gave my life to God at 15 (1974 or '75).
