A religious family can be tough, but if you know you don’t believe, that’s enough

You don’t have to let them know you don’t agree cuz it’ll just blow up and they’ll shame you. Just spend time with them without agreeing

It's hard to let it go completely when they're always droning about sin, judgement, & hell

Yeah that's what I try to do... they get very defensive about any outright disagreement

I just ignore all that. I don’t really talk much anyways so it’s no surprise if I don’t go and spew the same things they do

If you do kinda still believe then you don’t have to let it go completely, you could just decide for yourself how you’ll express your faith. It’s supposed to be between you and God anyway lol.

I just don't care. I've spent far too much of my life pondering useless doctrines that never really helped me.

Yeah then u don’t have to participate in the religion. Just know within urself that u don’t agree. You don’t necessarily have to go around ur family home parading that fact or causing issues by putting it down tho but just come to the conclusion that you’re not religious

That's fair, they're in my face far more than the other way around though

I just think contrasting responses in my head and don’t speak them. They can’t make an assumption based on what you’re not telling them so they won’t know you disagree. Getting through stuff this way gives them peace of mind on their beliefs but also lets you go through the time without someone shaming you or arguing about why u should do something
