It depends whether you like badminton or Thai Boxing ...

Islam is a good one if you want to get a reaction, though you may get one as an atheist depending on where you live. Islam is kind of good in a sense because it's pretty straightforward and you know exactly what you're meant to to do to get at the 72 virgins. There's plenty of structure and stuff to do with your new brotherhood and it comes with a discrimination card you can play if anyone annoys you, offends Islam/the prophet or whatever. And as an added bonus it will make you feel like a real badass man, and men are a "degree above women" as it says in the Quran. But in Mormonism you get your own planet to rule over when you die and a set of magic underwear as well, so it is a tough choice.

I'm surprised everyone has let this thread get this far without pointing out that one doesn't decide to be an atheist. You either believe in god(s) or you don't. Also, "atheist" shouldn't be capitalized.
That being said, OP, I think you should infiltrate Scientology, as others have said. I'm fascinated with Scientology. OR OR OR Children of God (aka The Family). Check them out. It's a sex dream for a thirteen year old! I know some former Family members, though, and none of them know who their real parents or siblings are. I guess it's a side-effect of all that orginess.

You can't really infiltrate Scientology, you would just end up going to an auditing session and they take your money off you, a lot of money, for doing nothing at all. It's a fantastic scam.

You either believe in god(s) or you don't. Also, "atheist" shouldn't be capitalized. You beat me to it. You are exactly right. Belief is the psychological state in which someone holds a proposition as being true. If you hold the proposition that a god or gods exist, then you are a theist. Anything else is atheism. That being said, you should try Sikhism. The swords are really cool! You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. 
Find a hobby or an interest,you don't need religion in your life.Many people make the mistake of thinking they do.
Well, I just wanted to see if I could actually find ANY religion that would suit me. Meaning have sufficient evidence.
