Yes, and I keep my lack of belief to myself.

I came from a very religious Christian upbringing in the south. Church multiple times every week, Mother taught Sunday school. Most of my family remains severely deluded in their religion. My mother cried when I mentioned I was agnostic; she became enraged when I explained that there can't possibly be a god years later.

I came from Muslim family and don’t have contact with them again as no common ground

My family on my moms side are mostly from central America. So yeah brought up Catholic. Just guilty for being alive, that sucked and getting over the hell fear took a while. So when I came out to my mom and aunt there were like "Yeah we don't believe either". I was surprised and a little posses because they let me keep believing it when they didn't. I got over that though. Turns out the majority don't in my family. Its just an unspoken thing. Cultural Catholics I suppose. The majority in the family are accounts or engineers that don't believe.I do have one cousin that a pediatrician that is a member of a christian mega church down there. I don't get that.

I came from an extremely religious household. I have generally tried to avoid seeing them lately... especially in the past couple years. It was only recently that I decided to turn my back on those beliefs that I grew up with. I came out to my mom about no longer believing in what she believed recently and I am pretty sure I broke her heart. I am just going to continue to avoid talking to them...

I have told my family and it did not affect them at all. In fact I doubt if they even take me seriously. 😉
