I Am An Atheist

I don't know if I'd really consider myself an atheist, more agnostic I suppose. I do believe it is possible for a God to be real, but I don't believe in one. I was raised Catholic, but religion was never really forced on me as a child. I went to church when I was younger, but my family in general just sort of stopped actively practicing. And as a result, I sorta just fell out and looked at things a bit more logically. I have nothing against people who do follow a religion, because nobody truly knows what's real or fake in regards to that, but like I said, it's not for me.

I don't want to be the one to explain theology however, if you have recognized that there is a possibility of God but still don't believe it, you are an atheist and not agnostic. To be agnostic means that you never looked in to the subject and don't really care to find out whether there is or not. Essentially, you never made any effort to think about whether to believe in God or not. Hopefully that clears your questioning. I am neither of those, I am a fully faithful Catholic however it can be said that being Athiest is better than being agnostic because at least you took time to recognize whether to believe in God or not. By the way I fully respect your choice, and I won't shun you like other (extremely faithful) Catholics may.

Good point, it's more than likely that something might be "out there", but it doesn't necessarily have to be like today's religion interpret it.
