Being depressed, doing drugs, alcohol and not going to church, or being mad at a god that's not there does not make you an atheist.

Didn't Jesus drink wine on multiple occasions? Even if he didn't, he encouraged the drinking of it.
There was no mention of him regularly attending church, either, in the bible...
When prescribed medication, you're taking drugs. What separates those from other drugs? And why are some okay and others not?
There are many depressed Christians.
