Am I wrong for saying this?

[Anonymous]

So my family history is a bit weird. Most of my family are catholic except for my mom and me.
Pretty much my baptism is not real. On paper it says I am catholic but I am actually not. It’s only to let me enroll into catholic school. I have nothing against any religions. Realistically, I am more of an atheist.

Whenever people ask me if I am catholic, I just say yes. I am tired of explaining people but at the same time I feel guilty.

Am I wrong for telling others I am catholic even though I am actually not?

It's okay to say "yes". You were christened a Catholic, but you're not a practicing Catholic. There's a huge difference.

You're a Catholic on paper and nothing more.

If I'd been christened into a religion at birth, and someone asked my religion, I'd tell them I'm not affiliated with any religion. I wouldn't say I was a Catholic just because I was christened as a Catholic, because I wouldn't consider myself as a Catholic if I didn't practice the religion.

You’re not wrong, but eventually you’ll have to come to a place where you do what feels morally right. You don’t need to exhaust yourself with an explanation to anyone because no one is entitled to that. Don’t feel bad for living in your truth and do it unapologetically.

Yes. I am baptist, not catholic, but part of it should be your own choice, not ur parents and the priests. I hope u do come to Christ eventually tho!

You should just say you're atheist. It would help desensitise more people. Show them they're wrong about their view of atheism.
