This is not a religious debate so let's not make it one.

I'm an atheist and have tried to keep it hush hush to my family because I simply don't want to deal with the drama. I know that religion causes rifts so I figured it was best to just not even mention it. Well two weeks ago my dad asked me if I believe in God and I said no, and now tonight my sister just did the same thing I'm not going to lie about it so I of course said no. Being fairly strong Christians, they both tried spewing reasons and "facts" that prove Christianity and tried telling me that I'm ignorant/need to do more research. I just went along with what they were saying and "mhm"ing so they would let it out and shut up. I just KNOW that my sister is going to blab about it to her pastor because she sees him every week for counseling. They're probably going to pray for me or something.

Last night I was listening to my grandma and sister have a conversation about atheism and I was getting so pissed off. My sister said she talked to a guy at work who's agnostic and said she couldn't wrap her head around it. My grandma agreed and said that we know God exists so why wouldn't they believe them being Christian doesn't bother me but the ignorance does, and I know that they're going to try pushing it on me especially now. My sister just said tonight that she wants me to go to church.

How does your family feel about your (lack of) beliefs? How do you deal with it?

they were....disappointed?? at first but now they probably don't care

My mom is an atheist too. My father is catholic, but we've never gotten into any sort of arguments.

My parents accept it. We sometimes argue over religion but it's whatever.
They don't even believe parts of the bible, which goes to show just how "religious" they are.

I'm agnostic and my parents were both raised religious but we never talk about religion. They didn't raise me religious at all so they don't really have room to complain that I don't really care for it. Although I remember one time when I was like 10 and I said I didn't think the bible was factual and the look my father gave me

They are also atheists, so I don't really have any problems.

I understand why it would be a difficult situation though.

My dad is an atheist too.
My mom is christian but she doesn't care about what i believe in.
So everything's good

My parents are Catholic, they DGAF

I'm not an atheist but I'm agnostic. Anyways. lets just say I was talking about evolution with my mom which agitated my dad

we all praise Satan together

my family doesn't care

I am so jealous. I pray that my spouse is also atheist because I am nawt raising my children with a religion

Omg! That's another thing that annoys me about my family. Both my dad and my sister asked me "So you think Evolution makes more sense than Creation?" Like Evolution is NOT the only belief besides Creation

Dad's atheist, mum's not but doesn't particularly practice any religion. Both of them don't mind.

I don't care how they feel about it tbh & we don't talk about that often...

My mom has accepted it. She's not THAT religious either. And my dad just don't care anymore.

My aunt who is really religious always try to convert me tho.

There a mess, because every religion thinks their god excited and they have "prove" so what makes there religion correct?
