If you attend Catholic Mass, You commit, "IDOLATRY." It's better not to attend.
If you don't read the Bible, Just don't leave this earth with the wrath of God abiding on you.
The bible says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16
The Word of God (The Bible) shows us it is very difficult to get around in the dark. The same concept is true spiritually.
and you as an Athesist, Few words, Regret is always in the end.
Here what I learn from this world,
God said, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9
The Bible is pretty clear that you (being human) is not "good" on your own merit.
The Bible shows men in their natural state all to be liars.
It is written, "Said in my haste, All men are liars." Psalm 16:11 They believe lies. They teach lies.

It sounds like you don't think that much about God, so you're in default mode.
I'm guessing you've never needed God yet. You don't know what you're missing.
Kind of like me not knowing how to use my digital camera. It's still in the box, and I have never taken a picture.
The difference is, though, you're kind of stuck if the default mode isn't good enough someday.
I have to read the manual to find out about the camera and haven't yet because I don't have the time or energy to do so. It's also not that important to me yet.
But when I go on vacation, I'll probably try to figure out how to use it.
The thing about God is, people never know when their time is "up." You may want to start reading the Bible to get to know him now. You're asking the right questions....keep asking until you get the answers you can face death with. Because every minute we're all closer to the final "vacation."

You don't have to attend church or read the bible to be a believer. But once becoming a believer you will have the desire to learn as much as you can. But if you only believe in youself and God is not in the equation then you are indeed an atheist. But it isn't over until you take your last breath. Keep an open mind.

That's okey. A lot of people that I know they go to church they steal, lie, gossip, and envy to others. As long as you don't do this you belong to God. But for a change try to read the Bible or listen the Bible hour TV of Charles Stanley and Joel Austin sometimes. When you have difficulties in life you will have hope to start over or continue. You have to have faith, hope, love each other and be baptised in water to protect yourself from Satan. The real church is your body. Light a candle in home and pray.

No it does not make you an atheist.
I would say you are more in the category of agnostic.
Lots of people don't attend services or read the bible and consider themselves Christians because they follow the teaching of Christ. Meaning they love their neighbors, love God, don't lie, cheat ,steal or kill.
I personally don't enjoy any part of church services except the singing, so I got a CD and talk to the 'higher power of my understanding' daily. This works just great for me.

Atheism is not a religion. It is the lack of belief in god(s) and the supernatural. You do not have to say that you "know" there is no God to be an atheist, it is enough just to not believe.
Agnosticism is about knowledge, not belief. If you do not believe that god(s) exist, and say that you have no way of knowing, you are an agnostic atheist. If you do believe in god(s), but don't know for sure, you're an agnostic theist.
You might also be a secular humanist, check out the definitions and see what fits.

You do not mention your belief in God.
An Atheist believes that there is no God.
I think atheists are people of great faith.
They believe the entire wonderful universe came into being all by itself from the smallest subatomic particle to the the most immense galaxy to the amazing complexity of the human mind to the love between a mother and child.
With love in Christ.

It doesn't make you an athiest untill you believe for sure there is no god. If you're simply curious but don't have a particular religion or set of beliefs you believe in, you could stand as a moderate agnostic.
check out a local non-denominational church and see if you like what you hear.

No, you probalby have some belief, derived from TV or film or stories told at school.
Believing in yourself is a rare gift -- don't let anyone steal this from you -- at the same time -- try to stay open minded -- there are lots of religious ideas, and they are all about the same.
Nobody has a monopoly on God, no matter how often or how loudly they try to force you to believe their legends.

to be an atheist you must frimly believe that there is in fact no god. if you believe that no one knows and could ever know what lies beyond, you're agnostic. and if you have never been to service or read the bible, pat yourself on the back, you probably have an open mind!
