Ultimately no, but not in the way an atheist would think. I was exposed to the religion in my youth, but I have to say no to being in control because like a man who finally can see the the earth is round and cannot go back to his old way of thinking the earth as flat, I likewise could not deny my faith when I was filled with the Holy Spirit though I did not fully grasp at the time that would be the moment I actually was a Christian.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
