Once born a Muslim, you stay a muslim irrespective what ever you do or don't
do. Your beliefs has nothing to do with it.
Balls to all your rubbish!

Hi Folks
As every Muslim knows or should know that Iman (firm belief) is the
foremost and essential requirement of Islam. Without proper Iman, one
cannot become a Muslim even if anyone born in a Muslim family. In
fact,Iman is something which has to be self consciously acquired in
order to become a Muslim, which constantly maintained in order to
remain a Muslim and also continually reinforced and fortified in order
to begin the next life as a Muslim. Therefore,Iman is something which
should not be taken for granted, but unfortunately many of us has
taken it for granted. Now, If Iman (belief) has a significance that it
is the purpose of life here and a saviour in the hereafter, then it
becomes necessary for each of us to find out what Iman really is.It is
not right to say that I am a Muslim and therefore I have Iman because
I was born in a Muslim family. What is Iman and what is its definition
in the context of Islam? This is a fundamental question concerning
Muslims and Islam. But one thing is quite clear: A definition of Iman
which contradicts any Quranic principle cannot be accepted as Iman in
Islam, no matter where and whom so ever it may have come from. After
this preamble,let us explore first of all the meaning of the arabic
word Iman and its definition given in the Quran by Allah Almighty.
The root of the word Iman in arabic is a-m-n which means: to be calm
and quiet in one's heart; to be protected from fear; trustworthiness
and truthfulness (Taj al-Urus).Iman means to accept truthfully to be
convinced to verify something to rely upon or have confidence in
something.Iman is usually translated in English as faith or belief,and
faith in turn signifies acceptance without proof or argument, without
reference to reason or thought, knowledge or insight. According to the
Quran, Iman is conviction which is based upon reason and knowledge; a
conviction that results from full mental acceptance and intellectual
satisfaction; the kind of conviction that gives a feeling of inner
contentment and peace. And a Mumin is one who accepts truth in such a
way that it ensures his own peace and helps him to safeguard the peace
and security of the rest of mankind. In fact, Al- Mumin is one of the
attributes of God Himself Quran chapter 59 verse 23.
