I was raised in a deeply religious household as well, and I truly believed, until I was a young teen. When I lost my faith, I didn't really think about it deeply, for a long time. I called myself an agnostic for a few years. I am pretty old now (in my fifties) and for quite a while I've been an atheist instead of an agnostic; just being honest with myself. I have no reason to think there's a deity or an afterlife, and it really doesn't bother me. Self-delusion would be worse, in my eyes.
