And are you constantly pressured by family members for it?
All of my family are very anti-religion but my dad holds belief in powers beyond our control, which is rational.
Not at all.. they know where I stand.. & there's the door, don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out if you don't like it.
Nope my dogs are as well, they do worship me but only as their magnificent leader.
Nope whole Family wife was a believer but she passed.
I am fortunate. My two younger sisters became atheists because of me. My parents followed. My sister's husband is an atheist, as well as her 21 yr old daughter. Both parents are in a mausoleum with an atheist plaque.
Basically, my close family children and wife believe like I do. Most of my family otherwise are religious. We do not visit much except when they need our help with something.
I am married to a devout Catholic christian. We have been married for 34 years, and have an agreement that we don't discuss religion. Occasionally she pleads with me not to bait the priests or other religious types if we attend functions that I am expected to accompany her to.
I'm the only atheist in my immediate family but extended family is much, much more liberal and a larger number of atheists and agnostics. My immediate family thinks they're being "subtle" when they post things about atheism when I'm aware of exactly how small their social circles are and their exposure to other atheists. Yea, I'm the only one most of them can possibly know. Then they post stupid shit about "this isn't aimed at anyone BUT..." as though I'm completely fucking retarded.
about half of us are atheist, the rest range from doubting Thomas' to "you going to hell, Jerry".
Yes in my household, just me and my dog. My sisters are the only family members who know. They are religious but don't pressure me about it. I wouldn't tell any other family members. It would spread like wildfire. Interventions, crying and praying for my soul... I'll pass lol.
In a bible belt state, North Carolina. I am the only one in my family, like immediate and extended family that doesn't believe in God. It definitely causes issues with the mother who raised me and my cousin too. My mother and I get into it at least every 3 months about religion. If I ever have a family of my own, my children will not be raised religious. But will be accepted if they decide later in life to follow some imaginary sky daddy.
