I'm a Catholic here, and even if I question some of the stuff in the bible and in the church, I still consider myself one. And I agree with what Mr.Playstation said. It is interesting hearing their points of view challenge the ones from theists, which makes me even more secure and firm in my beliefs. While I don't believe the Earth was made 6,000 years ago, I do believe there's a bigger entity out there and I too like science. I'm a "live and let live" person. I don't badger any person with questions or try to "convert" them back into religion. But I don't take kindly those who blatantly take potshots towards religion and theists and then say "If you believe in this, more power for you".

If I ever lose my faith, which is unlikely, I wouldn't want to consider myself an atheist. Maybe an agnostic.

If you lose your faith, you are by definition an atheist, as you don't believe. Most likely you are an agnostic too. Agnostic merely means that you think there's no way we can be 100% sure. So you'd be an agnostic atheist, like the majority of atheists are. To explain, an agnostic atheist doesn't hold any belief that a God exists, but thinks there no way of knowing for sure.

 

EDIT: To further explain, you can be an agnostic theist too, whivh means you believe in God, but again, thinks there no way we can be 100% sure.

I know that. But still, I wouldn't want to be considered as an atheist. I don't know what the future may have for me, I may lose my faith completely or
not. But I rather change to another system of beliefs than losing it all completely and label myself as an atheist.
