I am from the Philippines brought up by my parents as religious kid. Nevertheless in my teens I had a lot of curiosity about God/Religion, a had a lot of life problems this maybe contributory factor for me to not believe in God. My question is merely believing that God does not exist or even having doubts about him/ her can you be called an Athest?. What is the context of being an atheist? 

I am so sick of these people trying to judge me, shove religion in my face and even my family members.
