Even though I'm an Atheist, I don't pray for wishes, but sometimes when I feel thankful for something I thank God, cus otherwise I feel guilty, I don't know why, is it coded in my dna?

I also consider myself blessed sometimes, that word shouldn't really belong to me but I use it anyway when I feel good things are happening to me.


Am I a hypocrite?

No lie, I do the same thing. I hate the religion and I swear I talk shit about God (all the time), but I always need his help. God must like me because he be coming through for me most of the time.

You're not a hypocrite, because you are not an atheist.

all an atheist is, is a person that is not a theist.

A theist: a person that have a belief in atleast 1 god.

a atheist: a person that does not have such a belief.

You cannot pray to a god you don't believe in, and then thank him when you don't believe in him... That just makes no sence, it's like praying to Santa when you know he is not real, yet you pray, so that makes you a theist, not a atheist, because you clearly believe atleast 1 god exist (because you are literally pray to 1...)

There’s nothing wrong with praying, sometimes that’s the only thing you can do.

You should try meditating too, shit works.

The word could mean many things to you and others, it could mean fate, chance, destiny, etc.

Calling yourself an "atheist", is answering to religion. It's still an influence.

You're doing the right thing, you'll find God(not Jesus) one day.

You're not an atheist if you believe in God. Atheism is a faith/belief/conviction that there is no God. But you're doing the right thing. The fact you're praying and thanking God at your desperate times means God is guiding you. Keep trying harder until it works.

I don't think that would make you an hypocrite. Clearly we are enslaved by whatever society wants us to believe, we can't easily just undo what used to be a "trend". In my opinon, it is only just coded in your "DNA" rather than anything else.

That makes literally zero sense but whatever.
