Answer 1

First of all, take responsibility for your own life. Figure out what you believe, what you want in life, and how you think you should treat yourself and others. Life without religion need not be self-destructive. But, you have to realize that you are simply hurting yourself with the alcohol and drugs if you do them in excess. The same can be said for boys. Instead of trying to numb yourself or hide from your problems, think about what is right and work for it. Learn about the world around you. Learn to love, not just to need. Experience the beauty around you. You need not be muslim or christian or even religious to have a happy and fullfilling life. But you have to decide to do it.

Answer 2

I'm atheist myself and it doesn't bother me at all, but you never have to become atheist if you don't want to. Remember that an atheist believes that no gods exist. If you believe in a God of any kind, you aren't atheist, even if you are struggling with doubts.

If you want to return to your religion, remember that there is a difference between your religion and the people who practice it (or say they do). So if your Muslim school has caused you problems, that means that there is a problem with the school or with its relationship with you, not necessarily a problem with your religion.

I would suggest finding someone you can trust, especially an adult, who is strong in her/his faith. Tell that person about your problems and doubts and ask for guidance. Maybe being around someone who is strong in the faith will inspire you. You might also want to spend more time in general around people who are strong in their faith and who don't indulge in alcohol or other drugs, so that they can influence you positively.

Also, you should do everything you can to give up alcohol and other drugs. (I don't use them; atheism has nothing to do with that.) You are probably aware that they are not making your life better, or else you might not be asking this question. You might want to find a counselor, Muslim or otherwise, who can help you break those habits.

Best of luck in getting your life back on track! You probably have a long life ahead of you -- make it a good one.

Embracing atheism should have nothing to do with "losing faith" or wanting to get drunk.

You should become an atheist only if you truly realize that religion is nothing more than the desire to seek approval from supernatural beings. Once you realize that there are not people in the clouds who are watching you and that humanity's greatest hope is itself, then you are able to take the next steps towards becoming an atheist.

Reason, rationality, critical-thinking. These are the tenets of atheism. If you come over to our side you will find faith in yourself. Once you have that you can overcome many of the problems that you are having.

However, if you are not willing to change your worldview and are simply "mad at god," do yourself a favor and look at Buddhism instead.

Answer 4

Faith is something you have to find in yourself. Maybe the religion you were raised with isn't what feels right to you. Maybe you need to find your own path. But you don't "become" atheist. You are or you aren't. You are in a period of doubt and experimentation, which is normal. You'll figure out what you believe with time. It'll feel right to you. Whether it's your religion, a new one, or deciding there is no god. Personally, I strongly believe in God, but I don't adhere to any specific religion. Yet. I might someday, and I haven't written it off. But I want to feel like it speaks to me, because that is true believing.
And as far as all the things you're doing, everyone tries things, and everyone makes mistakes. But be careful what choices you make, because you're the one who has to live with them. You are your own person, and have to be responsible for yourself. When you make a mistake, you have to answer for it.

Answer 5

I dunno what to say really I think just do what feels right to u. I am agnostic I dunno if God exists or not and I don't belong to any religion I was a Christian but a lot of it didn't make sense to me. Maybe there teaching Islam all wrong in ur school or something I dunno. At 15 yrs old u shouldn't be drinking alcohol or taking drugs at any age. If u get addicted to the drugs u could really screw up ur life. Taking drugs isn't worth it its a waste of money messing up ur brain. The boy friends r ok though lol. Maybe u should talk to some Muslims on line or something dunno if u can go to ur Mosque and alk to someone. Just do what u think is right.

Answer 6

I don't think you "become" an atheist. You either are or you aren't. You either believe in a supreme being or you don't. Simple as that. Sounds to me like you're just mad at yourself for mistakes you have made and you can't see that you don't have to be perfect to be loved by God. Yes, I'm a Christian. I know you only asked for Muslims, but I believe that help is help and you sound like you need help.

Answer 7

As an atheist I can say that it is completely normal to question you faith when you are 15. It is your right. It doesnt mean you will remain an atheist. When you return to your faith or another faith your faith will be stronger than ever. So just trust your instincts.

Answer 8

I think that you should become a Christen be cause Jesus was not just a profit he was the sun of the god that created heaven and earth none of this hap pend by chance Jesus died on the cross for you and me he spent three days in Hell and then rose from the Died on the third day . pleas pray this prare dear god I am a sinner ,I believe your son died on the cross for my sins and I ask you to come in to my hart and show me the way the truth and the life because now one comes to the father exact throe Jesus

Answer 9

Have you ever read the Bible? Maybe you can find some of the answers you are looking for in there.

Drinking and drugs are not healthy weather you have "faith" or not. It is harmful to your body.

Answer 10

Atheist is a group. I think you mean you want to be agnostic which is best. Agnostic isnt a group to belong to. It is a term to say you dont believe or disbelieve in god. It is a middle of the road term.
