Age 14. Personally, I just googled "Does god really exist?" and I somehow came across atheist videos from Dawkins and Hitchens. They set me straight. After that the doubts just kept on coming, after a while I just completely stopped believing., realising Islam and all religions in general are pretty much bullshit.

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -

had to bump this. 21 yrs of age. Shocked and applaud at the people who were able to break free at such a young age.

"Live a good life. If there are god(s) and they are just, you will be rewarded based on virtue. If they're unjust, then you shouldn't want to worship them. If there are no gods, you will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of others."

I remember hearing my Mum in the garden gossiping to a neighbour about someone and hearing her say sew n'sew was a Hindu....Then came the inevitalbe stream of questions that usually come out of the average kid. When I realised that there were other religions, I then realised that they couldn't all be right, I then realised that maybe all were wrong. That was it, from then on I took it all with a pinch of salt. I was 4.

Begin first doubt at 23 or 24 during reading the Quran's translation wholeheartedly, wished to get knowledge of Hadith too make conclusion but couldn't. Become more devoted and practicing until thirty two. Started research again and reached where never I wanted to be, at thirty four.
I wish i left islam earlier so i could have enjoyed my precious 10 years.

If Allah is most merciful He should reveal His book unambiguous, complete (covering complete guidance for all time without need of any Hadith or Tafseer), easily and undoubtedly translatable to every language of world with a vivid sign of its proof from Him and its reach to every single human being.

Genius right there.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

17. I started having doubts after realizing that my Dua's were never granted, just that I strived for my own achievements.

When I started examining it properly during my short practicing phase. 24/25.

Don't read all those science books bro, you'll just get more confused.

That's funny. The more science I read, the less confused I get.
