I think of myself more as a skeptic than an atheist, and you certainly are not a skeptic if you believe in ghosts. But you do fit the definition of atheist.
About church. . . It won't hurt you as long as you apply your reason to what you see and hear. Make your mom happy and enjoy what can be enjoyed and ignore the rest. The problem with being a child or teen, is that you are neither independent nor free. But you will grow up and be both. In the meantime I advise diplomacy. It's a useful skill that will stand you in good stead in adulthood.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
