Best Answer

No, she was always a Catholic.

Answer

Mother Teresa was never an atheist, but at times in her later life sometimes expressed doubts as to whether God existed. She knew she never experienced God, as she wrote in one publicly released letter: "Jesus has a very special love for you. [But] as for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great, that I look and do not see,-Listen and do not hear-the tongue moves [in prayer] but does not speak ... I want you to pray for me-that I let Him have [a] free hand."
