Ooh, I wish it could be that simple but I don't think it can.
This is going to be a "highly" unpopular opinion amongst our atheist and agnostic friends on here, but I think everyone raised in a Western nation (or at least in this country) should be open to the idea that whether they like or not, they're what I've deemed "cultural Christians" in that growing up in a society steeped in Judeo-Christian ideology they've carried this with them as learned behavior.
Even if you were raised atheist from day one, you can't live in an atheist bubble completely devoid of all Christian markers. Subconsciously, you'll pick up enough "pidgin Christianity" to seem normal in said society.
