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

You get a job and move out. And once you are stable on your own. Assert ur opinion like they assert.

Based from my experience in my family, I strongly avoided any arguments with them, because they are known to be quite highly opinionated and hard to see what we're trying to say. I told them that I have my own ideas and lifestyle that I have the right to choose. Now, being an atheist for me doesn't mean that I will reject anything religious. Although I personally don't believe in them, I do have respect for them and the people that do believe in them. If a family member asked if I wanted to accompany them to church, if I ended up going, it is not because they forced me too. You need to let them know that although you don't follow their religion, you respect them and that you don't mind them, then ask them to understand and do the same for you.

Think about thier religion as a belief system or faith that that person needs and uses in thier lives. Thats what they live by, try to relate and if you can't it's ok to kindly refer them to a more appropriate listener.

As a christian, when speaking with an atheist, I found it helpful when they were open minded and shared their thoughts with me. My family does not share my religious beliefs, but I am understanding of what they believe and do not try to tell them they are wrong. If I feel uncomfortable about a certain topic, I let them know how I am feeling and respectfully decline the conversation.

As an atheist, I understand that religious individuals find their faith to be as important to them as my passions are to me. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and I bridge that difference with understanding and empathy.

It's important to understand that everyone has different views, and to ask that they accept you and your views, and to accept them and their views. Nobody will ever agree on everything, and your family is meant to be your support system, and their beliefs and your own should not stop you from having the bond of a family.

With respect for the their rights as well as your own. We live in a global world and respecting differences makes us more compassionate and understanding. It is appropriate to have your boundaries and ask that they respect them. Be consistent and don't feel as though you have to justify your beliefs just as they don't have to justify theirs.

Personally my family does not understand what atheism is and they think that I "hate god" which is not true. The way to deal is to be respectful and attentive to them and their beliefs but never lose sight of your own because they are just important. Do not let them try to define you and if they have questions then answer them respectfully to help them better understand.

Don’t bring up the subject unnecessarily. You should never feel like you have to lie or pretend about what you believe (or don’t). If you’re asked about your religious beliefs, be honest. However, you also don’t need to be a walking advertisement for atheism at all times either. Keep the focus on other topics. Instead of sitting back and hoping the conversation doesn’t turn toward religion, or waiting for it to pass on to another subject if it does, you can work to steer the conversation towards topics that may be more comfortable for everyone involved.

I state that i respect their beliefs, however i am open that my beliefs are not the same, everyone's beliefs should be respected, even if they arent your own.
