True

Making stuff up for confession was a bugger! I was such a good kid.

They missed their window with me.. I'd have shit to confess now about how I support the LGBTQ+ - that would be a blast!

Atheism is liberating for all the reasons you give. But that does not mean we behave impulsively, selfishly or immorally. Most of us act with compassion and secular moral values.

Ain’t that the truth. I nicely articulated.

You can also sleep in on Sundays and save all that money you'd otherwise be expected to tithe to pay your church imposed faith tax.

I no longer follow the rabbi’s interpretations of the Torah. Freedom

Being raised Catholic I kind of saw that too, it was the always asking for money that got me the most.

Just spiders and heights? What about poisonous snakes? Lions, tigers and bears?!? Alligators? Gila monsters? Poison Ivy? I can thinks of DOZENS of things!
My (worthless) advice though: go the extra mile and be a full-blown agnostic! It won't TOTALLY take care of the fear of death--you'll still have that queasy, nagging uncertainty--but at least you won't KNOW you'll go 'poof!' someday, when you least expect it...there you are walking down the street and a meteorite hits you in the head! Gone!
Hey, it happens.
Like me, you'll wonder about it a lot...and just about everything else. A lot.
I kind of envy atheist their absolute conviction. It must be nice to KNOW there's no afterlife (no 'god' required, so atheism is about more than 'god.' It's about not having fun.)
Agnostic uncertainty IS unsettling. Seems kinda wimpy, actually. But it makes sense, damn it all to...the moon!
It's easier, too. Saying, "I don't know" makes life more peaceful. Invites a discussion during which you can say you don't know as often as you like! Becomes a habit. Soon, when your girlfriend asks you which restaurant you want to go to...you won't know! TV program? No idea! And so on. Sure, she'll think you've lost it. You of course won't know.
Anyway, I guess being an Agnostic Atheist would cover it, but unfortunately the two words contradict each other. Totally incompatible (I hope no agnostic atheists are reading this).
See, I just watch superhero movies to satiate the "god gene" some people insist we have.
As for 'god?' Don't worry about it! (Doesn't sound like you do. I don't.)
Science will figure it out someday. I really believe that. Maybe.
In the meantime, revel in the knowledge that of all the (unfortunately) billions of people on this planet, only the insane are not, down deep inside, agnostic. Yes, you too.I think.

I like your creed and I believe in nothing supernatural. This was not always the case, but these days I can debunk almost everything.

Your creed creates a nice environment. Religion has created environments to fill the spectrum. When their environment is close to yours is when the philosophy is close to yours.

Glad you avoided rapist priests....our Atheism is an end to lies forced upon children.....my feeling of freedom came when I took the last step out of the closet resolved to END PASSING pretending to be xian around xians....yeah I stopped getting xmas presents from my xian relatives but I gifted their birthdays

Damn right! Well said!

I have effectively removed the procedure for doing a rosary completely out
of my memory.
I'm pretty sure the priests who heard confession knew I was an atheist before
any member of my family, all of whom I had to tell.
I remember, around the age of 12, telling one of the priests straight-up that I wasn't going to do my "penance".
He told me I wouldn't be able to receive communion at mass until I did.
Just to see what he'd do, I went up for communion the following Sunday, and
he gave it to me anyway.
Further solidified my position that the priests didn't really care about the "rules".

In my opinion, the bottom line for anyone being an A-theist is, or should be, there is no credible evidence, facts or data to support the existence of any god(s).
I would add to your creed; do or cause no harm.
