Fact is... you can be an atheist and a Catholic. You'd have to formally request excommunication to get your name off the books. The religion is centred on Christ from the new testament and the extra book Catholics seem to add to the mix. Some Catholics are non trinitarian apparently. So Christian in the very loose sense.
That's pretty uninformed actually. You join the club by being baptised and you leave it by making a formal declaration, not by asking for excommunication. And you can be an atheist and be anything, if you so wish or if you're willing to go through the motions of any given religion.
And what gives you the impression that some catholics are not trinitarian? As opposed to the thousands of protestant denominations, catholics have dogmas and doctrines to follow. So your post is utter nonsense.
