This occured in 1st grade. Basically I attended an elementary school in southern Indiana, which is rife with religiosity. There was at least one kid that I couldn't stand who was constantly haranguing other kids about "God". I listened to some of his preaching (no doubt from his parents), which, at least as I recall, went like this: There's only one God. And, God is in the heart. God is in everyone. yada yada.
What occured to me was one of the logical contradictions of these statements, taken together. e.g.: Premise 1: There's only one God. Premise 2: God is in the heart. And a further premise 3: There are many people, each with one heart. Conclusion: If so then there must be as many Gods as there are hearts, obviously many more than one - so, this is all a load of made-up hogwash.
Not an advanced chain of reasoning, but not too bad for a 6 year old. On top of that I was really getting in to science, starting a lifelong love for it, and it was very clear to me early on that natural law is what explained the world.
