It's a process which begins shortly after birth and continues until death -- provided the child isn't indoctrinated into religious cults which hate the sciences (such as the Creationist cults.) Elementary physics usually starts being provided in an organized, systematic way before High School.

As physics and related sciences progress, the gods of old have to run and hide, being displaced by the men and women who do science (and that goes for your Christian gods who now must hide out in "Heaven.") And humanity's collective godhood is already assured in the medical and biological genetic sciences -- not to mention the materials sciences.

Even in the classical Christanic mythologies the anonymous authors admitted to their understanding that knowledge among the mortals would replace the Elohim. The unknown authors got that one right, any way. The Tree of Knowledge has replaced the need for any of the gods. And before the classical Christanic mythologies, Pandora and Her Box pretty much put the contemporary understanding in context. When Humanity acquired Hope, there was no further need for any of the gods.

Science always wins out against fictional constructs.
