wrong from start to finish. The two are opposites, atheism is a lack of belief, you can't loose it. And most of us aren't scared of gaining faith, if we could be shown actual evidence, then we'd be just fine with it, as we'd find out we were wrong about something and adjust our worldview as such.

But no, we don't base our whole identity around being an atheist. We still tend to say things like "thank god" because it's a cultural expression.

In conclusion: No, just... no...
