Figured we could use two religion threads on the first page...
I grew up in a protestant household, church every week. I legitimately believed in God up until about 3 years ago. I suspect my parents know, I never talk about religion at all, and I while I usually visit them once a week, I never go to church with them either (only exception I make is Christmas eve).
I want to tell them, just because I don't want to feel like I'm hiding anything from them, but I also don't want to hurt them needlessly.
Anyone else here reveal their atheism to their parents? How was it received?
