I've been a Christian since the age of five. So I guess you could say 19 years, although my beliefs now are very different than when I was young. I was a fundamentalist Baptist until I was a teenager, became non-religious for a few years, picked it up again in college and became a rather liberal Wesleyan, dabbled in Buddhism when I graduated from college, and I now still identify with Christianity but it's hard to pin down exactly how I'd be classified. I usually just say progressive open theist.

I began in my mid teens, I was initiated at an age altogether too young, which I refuse to mention because teens today think it's okay to go around joining Wicca at that age over the objections of their folks, and unlike them, I had full parental consent... I now believe that under 18 even with parental consent isn't a good idea because I wasn't a decent Wiccan until my 20s.
But bear in mind by 17 I had 24 credits of college and my own apartment for over 2 years....not exactly normal/

I was raised Catholic and pretty much always believed in it. But I wouldn't say that I really became firm in my faith and made a conscious decision to follow until the age of 16. That's when I really did a deep dive into trying to understand religion. I realized it was ridiculous to believe in something just because your parents raised you that way.
edit: I did have a period of atheism at age 26, for a little over a year (if I'm not mistaken.)

I was raised Catholic.
Began to express my doubts when I was 18.
Decided I was an atheist/agnostic (I don't care what it is called) in my 20s.
Was without religion for over twenty years.
I joined a Unitarian Universalist church when I was 40 and am still an active member.
I am still an atheist/agnostic.

About 18 or 19, I started my spiritual journey. But my current understanding is more recent...after awakening and a realization at 31.

Personally, at about 12 or 13.
I didn't admit to anyone that I was an atheist until I was 18.
