The most important factors are respect and sincerity. When dealing with people of another faith, sincerity will get through to them. Just as respect will give them the opportunity to be sincere to you

Be kind and respectful, yes you may not believe in the same thing but It is still nice to respect their beliefs as they should yours

It depends on the religion but I'd suggest sitting down with your family and conveying your thoughts respectfully. Show them your way of thinking. The most important thing to do is to be respectful.

It sounds like maybe you are feeling judged by them? Be respectful and understanding, but expect the same respect. By embracing each other's differences, you can grow closer and still everyone can have their personal beliefs. Let them see that you are a good person, and know that they mean well, even if misguided in their behaviors towards you.

If you're an atheist, you're entitled to that. Your family may think, feel, and believe one thing, but that doesn't mean you have to agree and believe in the same things they do. It's important to respect and tolerate everyone's beliefs, even if they don't match your own. Just know it's not wrong to feel or think differently than others; that's what makes us unique individuals.

Respect their beliefs and expect respect in return. They have the right to be religious, and you have the right to be an atheist. Respect is all there is to it.

Remember that you don't need to convince them of anything. It's still okay to participate in the community and ritual of church even as a non-believer. Be respectful of their beliefs as an example of how you'd like them to be of yours.
