no no no not at all.
For instance Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus etc etc all share theism, or the belief in some higher power, with Christians. In fact Muslims basically believe in the same god as Christians.
Atheism simply means not having a belief in a higher power (or god). (Atheism is anti-theism if you like).
Atheism is not to be confused with being agnostic which is more like sitting on the fence and saying that you are un-decided - you neither believe nor disbelieve.

An atheist is a person that does not believe in a supreme being - in any supreme being. There are numerous other religions that believe in a supreme being - Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, and the list goes on. These people are not atheist nor are they Christians.

A non-Christian is someone that doesn't believe in Jesus as their savior. There are many religions that don't believe in the Christian Jesus. Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, etc., etc. However, they still believe in God or in some other savior and they are not atheists.

God said " you are either for me or against me" there is no grey area. If you are for Him you are His (Christian) if anything else you are either an atheist or are bought with another price(not the blood of Christ). Choose Life , choose Christ. See the book of John in the NT.

No, in the real sense of the word, an athiest is one who is without any religion whatsoever. Many christians would disagree with me, however, because they have an extremely narrow view of the world.

no, there are those who practice Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Wicca, and many other religious practices that are non-christian...Christianity is a religion based upon Jesus being the son of God..the others aren't..

Gee, Diavola, does that mean all Jews are Satanists? Are you living in the middle ages or something?
If you are not a Christian you are not a Christian. That's all.

It makes you a sinner...it is written in the Bible in 1 Samuel if one does not pray he or she is a sinner. Atheist are said to not believe there is a God.....the demons tremble before God and they know the word of God and they know us. They uses us against ourselves and they tell us at times what the word says and twists it...that is all these other religions. It is the things we ignore that get us in the end. God's word.
