That is a valid form of Christianity, arguably the most authentic form. Even back when I practiced Catholicism, I never considered myself a Christian. Catholicism isn't pure Christianity in the first place, it's more like a hybrid of paganism and vaguely Christian ideals.
Christianity takes many outward forms as expressed in different cultures and even individuals. Personally, I find the mystical core both fascinating and compelling.
As for athiesm, it is only one possible conclusion of applied skepticism. And it is interesting to see the various outward forms of belief resulting from all the different kinds of patches atheisticly inclined skeptics put over the "god shaped hole" in Man's heart.
