A lot of them will come around

I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully, they’ll wake up. Welcome aboard.

Thats such a shame but it shows your adopted families level of commitment to something uncertain. Truth without investigation = indoctrination. My advice leave them in the bronze age, good riddens.

Relatives and family are not always the same thing.

Fuck them, if they choose fairytales over reality why would you want them in your life. im friendly with a few religious people but we both know religion isnt a topic to bring up. I think if someone penly starts talking about religion knowing your beliefs there being rude . How would they feel if you brought up the subject of porn, drugs and booze?

I’m sorry that sucks. Maybe they will come around. It took a little while for some of my family to except it. But I came out at twelve.

It's always a shame when someone's atheism causes rifts in their family. If fact it's a shame when anything causes rifts in a family - but there does seem to be a view in some (indeed many) religious communities that 'ceasing to be a member' is a monstrous crime that cannot be forgiven.
