How do I tell my parents I don't want to go to church?

Tell them that you don't fully understand the religion yet and would want to know more before making decisions like going to church.

It may be a sensitive subject. Explain them the reasons and tell them that you have to read and discover more about religion, before going to church.

This is one of the most difficult topics to deal with in some peoples life and the very fact that you're willing to attempt to try and look into dealing with it is amazing! What would the implications be if you told your parents that you want to things in a way that would be in more alignment with your ideas of serving God?

Find out what you don't like and a reason you don't feel like going, tell them a reason instead of saying I just don't want to go.

Politely explain your reasoning for not wanting to do so, and be patient with them if they have a negative response.

religion is a big part of peoples lives and it can be a shock to find out that your child does not want to worship in the same way you do. That being said honesty is the best policy and the longer you leave it the harder it gets to tell them.

I tell them that I don't want to go to church and that it is not a reflection on them. I am searching for my answers about God and I don't know if I can find them in the church.

Sit down and have a conversation with them! Tell them your reasoning for not wanting to attend church, (why you're uncomfortable with it. stuff like that) and ask them to respect your decision and your comfortability :) Hope this helps!

You know your parents better than anyone. Do you not share their beliefs or do you just not want to attend church? Sitting them down in a quiet atmosphere and talking gently to them is just one answer. Please be prepared to give them your full views and also to listen to theirs. If you are underage and your parents are deeply integrated into the church, you might not be able to convince them to let you stay home. But if you can somehow convince them that church is leading you further away from religion than closer to it, they may see that forcing you to attend church is not helping instill their beliefs. Good luck!

First of all you need to ask yourself why you don't want to go to church, be honest to yourself, after it, try to have a honest conversation with your parents showing them that your decision was well thought.
