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

I think everybody needs something to believe in (or not believe in), and we all try to make due with what we have. So it's okay, your family probably did not have the same exposure you did, so if you feel enlightened by your own path and yet suffocated by your parents different choices, contain them. Religion (or non-religion) is an intimate system anyways. It's yours to keep, or not keep.

You can try behaving as if you were their Listener whenever they get onto religious topics. You know... don't judge or argue, validate their feelings, reflect content, maintain healthy boundaries.... you might want to skip asking questions to further the conversation though! And then for your self-care afterwards, you can come back to 7 Cups on your member/guest account and talk to a Listener about how hard and annoying that was! You can then bask in the comforting thought that you haven't lost your temper with them even though you felt tempted.

Just respect that they have different beliefs as you do. If they try to force any belief on you ignore it, what you believe is your choice and your choice only

Respectfully let them know your religion and tell them about it. That way you make them understand your frustration.

You deal with them with respect. Ask them to have the same respect for you, and not push their religion on you, just like you won't push being an Atheist on them.

Tell them religion is not everything. And tell them if youve been created like this, this is not your fault you can think however you want

Don't diss their views unless they disrespect a person's being. Because you're most likely a child, don't argue with your parents because they'll just get more angry at you for being an athiest. I know you think your views are right, but you have to respect other people's views.

You don't have to deal with someone or their beliefs just because they are different from you. You have to know that you have the right to follow your beliefs whatever they may be and your family similarly has their own right. Believing in a certain ideal or belief doesn't mean you should force others to follow it or that you be forced to follow someone's beliefs. That is an unhealthy mindset.

Try and get along with them, just try not to start any conflict. Do not disrespect their beliefs or offend them. Try to be as neutral as possible when it comes to the subject.

Hopefully you can put your beliefs across and be respected for being an atheist. If perhaps you are faced with intolerance, then you can suggest not wanting to discuss religious matters.
