So I am a Catholic and I always thought that they never become an atheist but just quit going to church. Does that make sense to anyone here?
I have heard the comedian Dara O'Briain say the same thing. He is an atheist but somehow still a catholic.

I became an atheist
and I quit going to church.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

No. No sense at all.
I, too, was raised catholic but survived to reject it and recover.
Learn a bit while you here. Perhaps you too can free yourself from their barbarism.

Lambert no mint sauce. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Anyway, welcome aboard the ship of the damned - damned sexy, obviously. Plus me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Enjoy the forums.
