There's a sticky at the top of the forum asking the same question.

Catholics are Christians.
I was raised Catholic but now consider myself an atheist.

It's also worth noting that most people who classify themselves as agnostic and most who classify themselves as atheists hold similar beliefs about the actual existence of god.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.

im christain to my own lil rules im bi but i believe god accpets us for who we are not who we like if he didnt want us like that he would of never given us the idea in the first place so my church dosent believe it but i do one reason why idont go anymore
Life is too
Short to spend
It at war with
Yourself.
I’m catching stars in the sky because I am fixing the soul within me. May it be from the heart a girl broke years ago or my soul simply repairing itself as it was shattered on my walk on this earth. May the stardust fill those cracks within my soul making me brand new, but never forgetting who I once was.

Catholics do identify themselves as Christians. There are many branches of Christianity, and Catholicism is one of them.

All catholics are christians but not all christians are catholics. Catholics are a subset of christians.

I usually don't consider atheism as a religion but that aside, I'm a strong atheist. I'd also add myself as anti-theist.

Then why is it that when I look at the timeline of Christianity, Roman Catholicism appears as a sub-set of Christianity? Perhaps the diagram is lying but I'm more inclined to think you're absolutely wrong. In terms of what Catholics believe, yes there may be a difference but to say it's different means it has nothing to do with Christianity. Good luck trying to explain that. Below is a diagram showing why you're wrong.

I actually would say that I'm more of a spiritualist religion than anything, though I did go to catholic schools and such like and used to go to a church which was church of england but at the moment I would say my religion is spiritualist.

Not sure, as I do consider myself fairly spiritual. I think I relate closer to Deist philosophies though.

I consider myself agnostic because I believe in God and Jesus, but I don't believe in the bigoted religion that is Christianity.

Maybe that will help.” Harvey Milk, 1978

I'm curious, which parts do you revise and often use to give hope? Also, why do these parts give you hope?

I am a deist mostly because of the way that I have defined God. God is the force or energy (and is reducible to a single entity) that is responsible for the universe. It does not have judgment and it does not intervene in the lives of human beings. God simply plays out of its own nature. I was an atheist for awhile until I thought about it, and I feel that there must be a link between the 4 fundamental forces. Of course I could be wrong, but I believe that such an entity must exist.

If you wanted to divide "Christian" and "Catholic," you should have used Protestant instead of "Christian."
"Daniel broke the kings decree, Peter stepped from the ship to the sea, there was hope for Job like a cut down tree... I hope that there's such hope for me... Blind as I've become, I used to wonder where you were. These days I can't find where You're not. Mine's been a yard carefully surface tended, foxes burrowed underground. Gardening so highly self-recommended, what could I have done but let You down? The sun and the moon, I want to see both worlds as one." -Aaron Weiss, mewithoutYou
