If you don't believe in God, become Buddhist or something. It's pretty cool, desu. As long as you don't meme it up.

>can you be well-read without actually having read any books?
Hudson Long
Yes. It's called Christian Atheism.

Good question. 17th century France was pretty much divided on the issue.
The usual answer is that God furnishes efficient and/or effective grace. Efficient grace isn't salvation but it's what you need to take the leap. Effective grace is actual grace. Now here's the thing. If you behave like a Christian, but you don't have effective grace (ie. feeling god), but you fear hell and all that jazz, and you do pray and follow the catholic church which received the holy spirit from the hands of Jesus, then yes, you can be a Christian. Fear of God is enough ; belief is not given to everyone ; but disbelief is an actual choice. Think about it this way ; what if God decided not to give you faith, in order to test you ?

all true christians are atheists

Yes, but that's still belief in God. It's willing belief, rather than instinctive faith, but you still ultimately believe in God, even if it's because you're telling yourself to believe.
Not believing in God, period, disqualifies one from being a Christian.
Cameron Wilson
Yes you can. Another user posted christian atheism, which is following the morals of a christian, but not believing in god. By all means do this as having good morals helps yourself and society.

According to the united church of Canada, no. Not that what they think matters but they recently defrocked a minister named gretta vosper for declaring herself an atheist
