Good on you buddy. You stated your belief with what appears to be confidence. Make sure you don't listen to the haters out there who try to bring you down, this is your choice.
I, personally, am an Atheist.
I don't disbelieve in deities, I merely disregard them.
I view my friends as my path guides. If I stray, they steer me back on. If they stray, I try my best to bring them back. They are my best friends, my brothers.
They will help me live, without judging. They will keep me happy throughout my life.
I hold nothing higher then my best friends. If they were in trouble, I will hesitate not to leap to their rescue. They have proven this for me as well when I got into an accident in Hawaii and was hospitalized. My best friends, who were in California, were next to my bed in Hawaii when I awoke. They dropped everything, their work for the week, their money for travel and stay, all that to make sure I was alright.
I trust them with my life. I will even trust them with my family's life.
With the little time I have since I work all the time, I spend with my loved ones. I honestly don't have time for any religion, however, with friends like mine, who needs a religion anyways? I'm satisfied with life as is.
