How do I deal with a religious family as an atheist?

If you believe it is a safe environment, first consider opening up to your most trusted family member. It can possibly be a safe way to gauge how your family will handle it and they might be able to help you.

Try not to be judgmental. Show them that you have respect for their ideals and beliefs. I know sometimes they don't always return the same respects or they do judge but don't use that as a reason to disrespect or judge them back. You can always try to talk to them and let them know how it feels if they do disrespect or judge you or your beliefs.

It all depends on how open-minded they are when it comes down to it. If they are intolerant and are dangerously steadfast in their beliefs then it's best to keep it hidden until you're in a position of independence. Because there's a high chance that if they're too religious, admission might make it worse.

It depends on how the family interacts with each other, I would say from personal experience to be kind to everyone and respect their religion, hoping they will do the same. That might not always be the case, but don't sink to that

You should always be respectful and tolerant of other people's religions, as you expect people to be of yours. Calmly explain your beliefs and be willing to have a discussion on them.

Be respectful of their beliefs and request the same. It is possible to be friends with others that do not share the same beliefs, however at times it can be challenging. Religious friends may have pressure from there religious center to invite non-believers for worship. If the family frequently asks that you attend, decline as respectfully as possible. Remember that the reason they are sharing their beliefs with you is that they trust you and want to share a very important aspect of their life. Their intent is to bring you the joy that they have experienced. It is out of care and love that they want to welcome you to their faith. Tread carefully.

Just try to understand that everyone has their own beliefs and as long as it makes them happy and isn't harming anyone else, they are fine! It's good to have an open dialogue about these things, though, because understanding each other helps so much more than you'd know.

Just do your best to respect your families beliefs. Just because you don't believe in the same things should not affect your love for one another. Hopefully if you show the love and respect towards your family, theyh will do the same for you.

You don't deal with them (: As an apostate, I've been in a similar situation with my family for over 5 years now. The key is to embrace that your family is behaving as they have been taught to behave. As long as they don't impose their practices of beliefs on you, as an atheist, it shouldn't make a difference to you as to what they believe. Having a calm and open mind around this is very important. If they do try to preach you or tell you some stories, you could just listen to them as bits of humor and laugh it off. You just can't reason with someone who doesn't value reason, so it's better to save your time, energy, and excitement for better utilization. Hope this helps.

I, being a Christian, believe that you just tell them you are an atheist. They should not judge you, nor should they try to force you into their own religion. That's not what being religious is about, it's about honoring God, and doing your best to keep his word, not forcing his word down unwilling people's throats.
