FTFY.
Anyway, to expand my point slightly - Atheism provides no reason to deny yourself the opportunity to change faiths. There is no directive in atheism that says you shouldn't simply decide one day that you've been wrong, and go adopt a faith.
This stands in stark contrast to every other religious system ever to exist, which all state that leaving the religion will result in some form or variant of divine punishment, either before or after death.
