Being atheist

[gmail]

After being forced to attend katekisme until I made my confirmation, I decided religon was not for me. I couldnt stand all the bullshit catholics believe in. Since then I have considered myself an atheist, and this may sound like a dumb question but, am I really atheist if I have already "confirmed to the church"? To be fully atheist would I have to do somthing to renounce myself from my former relgion?

No.

Atheism is not a religion. It's simply the lack of belief in God/Gods. If you don't believe in God, you're an atheist. it's that simple.

If your asking, does Atheism have a ceremony to be one,the answer is no.

You're an atheist and a catholic.

You have to write the pope and tell him to cram catholicism up his ass.

You're too dumb to be an athiest.

No, but you might want to go and do some reading before you make your conclusion. Becoming an atheist just because you don't like Catholic dogma isn't any better than becoming a Protestant because you don't like Catholic dogma; get familiar with arguments that atheists have on your side, and make a really intelligent decision.

*sigh* No I'm not asking to join a "Church of Atheism". I want to know if deciding I don't want to be catholic is all I need.
