Becoming an Atheist (how to leave another religion?)

Strange question I know but my husband says I can't be an Atheist because I was christened and am technically Church of England even though I haven't believed in it at all or ever practiced it.


You can be an atheist even if you were baptized, confirmed ect ect.

As an atheist you don't believe in god or gods. Baptism means nothing if you don't believe it.

I have seen this thing where atheists would set up a de-baptism thing.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
