There isn't some switch you can flip back, even if you wanted to. No more than you could switch over to be Muslim. All you can do is pretend to still believe.
So stop trying to insult people for "choosing to be atheist". It's (God)childish.
Just because you want to deflect by saying there's no choice doesn't make it true, you chose to be an atheist, period. Childishness is not stepping to the plate and accepting your responsibilities.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
