How I Feel Sometimes

Are they cool with it or are they sure that you'll grow out of it someday and see the light?

My mother is cool with my lack of faith too. But I feel that not to be concerned about the many other people who are actively harmed by religions would be selfish.

My mother dragged me and my siblings through the ringer when we were children as she tried to figure out which one suited her best. Now she just wants us to be good children. I think at least 3 of the 5 of her children are staunch atheists. The awkward part is that I also have "Country Christian Conservatives" and Catholics in my extended family (Her brother's family and her sister's family, respectively.) And they're cool with it too.

In answering the question, my mother is very accepting of my lack of faith. My father blames himself for "not being a good spiritual guide."

My mother wishes I would 'see the light' as she has requested that I go to church (though she doesn't...). Other than that, she seems mostly okay with it. We don't talk about it often, but I think she knows that I'm a good kid/young adult/man and that's all that matters.

My dad, on the other hand, pretty much refuses to talk about his beliefs. I don't even know if he's an atheist or religious or what. Every time my mother and I have talked about it, he keeps his mouth shut. If I ask him, he just looks at my mother and doesn't say a word. I feel like he'd be atheist, but I can't actually label him as anything. Him and I are just so much alike though...
