An athiest can believe in god, but athiests do not worship any gods[religion]. If they proved
god[christianity] existed, that would not automatically make everyone be a christian, as alot of people would choose not to worship.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I am very aware god cannot be proven, thats why I am an athiest. But if got came for a visit, that would count as proof would it not? There are many that would not worship god if they knew for sure god existed. having proof of gods existance, and not believing god exists is just as illogical as believing god exists with the current lack of proof. Believing god exists is a requirement of worship to that god, however worship of that god is not required to believe that god exists.
Athiesm is used here and commonly in society as meaning 'not practicing or believing in any religion'. if an entire society consistently misuses the word in the same manner, that words definition is effectivly changed. There are some (I am not one) that do not consider budhism a religion, or as still a part of hinduism for that very reason.

That depends, it could also create a miscommunication through lack of clarity.
