Can an apostate be forgiven?

[Guitarist4]

Hebrews 6:4-6 seems to indicate that someone who leaves the faith can never return. I was baptised and took communion, however, raised secularly since then and became a serious atheist. I now am trying to return to Catholicism, but this passage is making me fear that it is too late for me. Is this true?
