IF One is Not A Christian, Would Atheism be next best thing?

Being unsaved is being unsaved, as several have said. However, to me, more dangerous than an athiest, a Muslim, a Buddhist, or an agnostic, is a Mormon. We know how the first four picture Jesus. The last one casts Him in a deceptive way by making it appear they believe He is the Son of God and Savior at first glance. Put that in conjunction with their exterior appearance of Lawerence Welk/Disneyworld clones, and their fame for moral values, it gives a good first impression. It does not take much digging to see that they are rotten to the core. To me, as most people go with their first impression, this is one of the biggest threats to the Christian faith.
