It’s not a sin to be homosexual. It is a sin to act upon it. With you being atheist, I would assume that it would not be a concern for you. Or is it a concern for you?

You can still become a Christian. Many of us got turned around and pointed a different direction on our path to the faith. Many of us needed healing in that process and, slowly or quickly, we have found that healing too. Take your time.

The fact that you're here on a Christian forum website suggests that you're seeking some insight or direction on religious issues. That alone is commendable, and we all here want to encourage you in seeking truth in the matter.

As suggested above, understand that we're all expected and invited to seek a relationship with God regardless of our moral condition. A salvation position comes first through faith in Christ, then we spend a whole lifetime going through the sanctification (growing and changing) process. In other words, Jesus will accept you the way you are, but he won't leave you that way.

There are countless public testimonies from people who have turned their lives around after seeking Jesus. You could spend considerable time watching YouTube videos of transgenders, gays, gang members, drug addicts, alcoholics, ex-witches, and all kinds of morally misguided lost souls who embraced the Gospel message and found the peace, love and hope that Christianity offers. The path to redemption is sweet and available to all who seek it.

There are many ways you can assess your religious beliefs and moral values, so I offer you just one easy path that you can do at home privately: by watching some good sermons and presentations from the right sources. Here's a small sampling of my favorites to get you started if you're interested:

Christ teaches to follow him we must deny ourselves (Mat 16:24). our "self" is the thing(s) that we identify as that we often refuse to let go of and can look like many things. It could be the identity as a parent, as a spouse/partner it could be our job, education, race, or social standing, and yes it can be our sexuality too (and it often is), which includes heterosexuality and celibacy as well as homosexuality. There is no pre-set list but whatever it is you refuse to let go of, Christ calls us to deny if we are to follow him. This is the rite of passage for every follower of Christ, it is also a daily practice.
