best way to tell is to see what way the rafters above it run, if it runs in the same direction so it isn't supporting the celing beems then it is not a load bearing wall, if it is run so the rafter beams all run across it then it is a load bearing wall and would have to be replaced by a enginered beam to continue to suport the roof.
