Atheist brehs, how did your parents react when you told them/they found out you were an atheist?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

My parents believe in god but they're not religious, they don't go to church or anything like that. The most they do is bow their heads during Thanksgiving grace. I've never had a convo with my dad about being atheist, but when I told my mom, she was legit saddened by it. She felt like she didn't do her job as a mother & it was probably the first time I really felt like I disappointed her. She asked me why I felt that way & then kept trying to convince to believe. She actually started apologizing because she felt like she made me that way by neglect or something. Started saying she was gonna take me to church & telling me to read the bible & shyt. Kind of made me feel like I was wrong, like as an individual. Then she started asking if I believed in an afterlife & if I would raise my kids to be atheist & if I would have religion a part of being married & a bunch of other crazy shyt.

My moms easily understood that Christianity was a tool of enslavement, so even tho I was only 16, it wasn't that difficult, but when I started summoning ufos for her 13 years later, she knew her boy found something special

Really? lol, how come? I know a bunch.

It's da same kinda deal wit brauds dat are into "artsy"(museums, theater, dance, etc) and "nerdy" (animation, sci fi, books, discovery channel, etc.) type shyt.

It's very rare to find a chick who's bout dat kinda life but still "cool" and not some socially awkward wierdo. I enjoy all those things but if you saw me n we chopped it up on some regla type shyt you'd have no fukkin clue.

I'm still dat same nikka from da soufside of Chicago. It just so happens I got zapped wit artistic abilities dat opened up doors to other worlds. Bof literally and figuratively.

Usually da sistas I come across who are atheist and "different" tend to be cornballs or TOO fukkin off brand for mah taste.

Dere are some hidden gems out chea but again dey're VERY rare.

Reason#4467213 why you can't just limit yaself in terms of p*ssy. Err race got bad hoes up innem. Just gotta weed da wack ones out n find who you mesh wit.

Maybe its the white people throwing me off, but our convo went nothing like this. She just wanted me to have faith in something

My pop's an anti-religion atheist so he didn't care. My mother is one of those "i'm spiritual but not religious" and she didn't care. My super christian granma started forcing me to go to church. Up until I was 17/18, I never talked about religion with my dad so I honestly didn't know he was an atheist and vice versa, and i've been one since 13.

 

[Phoenix_Knightly23]

I'm open to believe...

just haven't seen anything that makes me WANT to.

I lost a good one cuz she was a devout Christian
Why didn't I just keep lying brehs

I've never really outright said it...but they know I don't go to church and don't really bother me about it. Every blue moon my mom or one of my grandmas will ask when the last time I went to church was but I just shrug it off. Other than that, it's just not a discussion that I think is even worth having.

Did have a relationship with a chick go bad because midway through she decided to be "born again" and expected me to be the same ...it is what it is I suppose.

God has a purpose for your life, and within a year, God has let us know you'll rejoin the fold... or words to that effect. That was about ten years ago. Now, they just pretend that it's not an issue. I don't bring it up, either. To be fair, I'm more apathetic about the whole issue of religion and the possibility of a lack of gods, and so don't care to discuss nor raise the issue with any conviction. That way we all dance around it.

Another anti religion thread even though being an atheist now is a religion.

Atheism is damn near like a religion. funny thing is they often spend so much time talking about god and religion.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Atheism is damn near like a religion. funny thing is they often spend so much time talking about god and religion.

an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods

That's the definition of religion as defined by Merriam-Webster.

How does Atheism fit this definition?

The only thing all Atheist's share is their common disbelief in a deity, what one Atheist does or chooses to do is not reflective of all Atheist's.
