You sounded so reasonable, even the entering religion part, until this:

Christ is king

What is this waffle? Why would God, should he/she/it exist, care about kings? Monarchs are a human social construct.

It's the type of thing someone who has been deeply indoctrinated spouts.

You sound reasonable for the most part, so why not turn your efforslts and worries to something benign like 'mindfullness' (without the Buddhist nonsense)?

For what it's worth, it was Buddhism that made me realise how pointless and wrong any and all religions are.

Ah yes, nothing says 'I was definitely an atheist' like a list of metal music.

I don't think you're allowed to be an atheist unless you like metal. It says it in the book they give us at the orientation meeting, where we also eat a baby, learn how to apply black lipstick and worship at a picture of Richard Dawkins riding a T-Rex.

Part of the issue with 'some' religious people is that they think atheism is a religion also, which it isn't (I still don't like the word atheism or atheist, it shouldnt need to be labeled and it's the word itself that makes some think it's a religion, 'I'm not religious' should be acceptable. A weird personal thing I know, but I also don't like the term cisgender, I'm male, a man)
