How do I tell my parents I want to leave their religion?

Tell them that you want time to explore and gain insight for yourself. Perhaps you’ll end up coming back or perhaps you’ll find a new belief system. Whatever it is you may need this time to think and understand what it is you believe. Then when you find that you’ll be firmer in these beliefs.

This can be tough depending on how strict your parents are. I suggest you tell them right out that you have to figure things out for yourself and you don't believe in/agree with their religion. Of you don't like that idea then you can try to pull yourself away slowly by not participating in their practices and separating your self from that religions things.

Think about their religion and outline the reasons why you want to depart. Talk to one of the church leaders about your heart to move away from the parents faith into your personal faith. Maybe request a family friend to support you as you acknowledge to your parents your heart's desire to no longer follow after the religious teachings and state your reasons. Understand religion is difficult because most are convinced their teachings are the only correct doctrines. be ready to acknowledge and even defend your journey away from their faith. Please accept their difficulty with your decision, but don't allow their disdain influence you pursuing your truth and discovering your path to faith.

Be open and honest. It might be scary, but if you truly do not want to be a part of it anymore then it is your decision to make.

You firstly tell them your beliefs and then tell them why you feel that their religion is not what you believe in. That is what religion is all about; belief.

as a parent they want best what they think is for there child if you are scared to speak out ask for someone to be with you as you explain this is not for you as you still love and respect them but they have to do the same back hope this helps

I'd like to leave the religion, thank you. It's not for me but it is for you and both choices are fine. We share common ground that as a family collectively can be tread upon in the pursuit of a close bond between biological cohabitants which is as far as concessions in the face of deeper moral and existential dilemma's can truly be taken. Who am I to speak and who are you to listen? We are made one by genes and circumstance but the overarching truth will always be that the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Religion can not bind a person to do his achievements. Better you follow humanity religion, no need to change.

First it helps to be living on their own. I told them point blank I'm Atheist. They more or less it accept it. Sometimes its easier then you think

Every religion has its own merits, and I'm of the belief that everyone is born into the religion that's best to them. It's like the banana and the banana peel -- no matter whether the peel is brown, or yellow, or green, they all contain a banana inside. You can do spiritual seeking to supplement the faith of your birth, but I feel that there's never really a need to convert from that religion (unless of course it's something dark.)
