To me personally it feels a lot like being gay. I could theoretically sleep with women, but that wouldn't make me not gay.

I could also go to church every Sunday, read the Bible, and profess my faith, but I still don't feel like that would make me truly believe. That was sort of the epiphany I had when I was a teenager. I said I believed in God and was a Christian, but I knew I didn't. Eventually it dawned on me that if there was a God, whom did I think I was fooling by saying those things? I certainly couldn't fool an omniscient being so what was I doing? That's when I just let it go. I'm not 100% certain in my nonbelief and I suppose something could happen to change my mind, but I don't feel like I could actively force myself to believe.
