I told my cousin that I was Atheist.

So a couple of months ago I became an Atheist the rest of my family are Baptist. I haven't told anyone because most of them will not take it well and my mom would be especially upset. I love my family and they are great people, but you know how people can be when it comes to things they are passionate about, especially religion. I just got done telling my older cousin that I was Atheist. We are like brothers and I was worried he would take it badly, turns out he doesn't believe in God either. It was really cool finding out that I am not alone. I just don't know how to break the news to the rest of my family. I have been asking questions and testing the waters but it only serves to get me in trouble like when I ask "what proof do we have of God?" I am most likely going to wait until I'm 18 which will be in a year, but if a situation arose and I decided I wanted to tell them flat out that I'm Atheist how should I go about doing this Flood?

  • Well I live in Texas, a place of very low tolerance. I told my dad and now he basically favors my brothers over me because they believe in god. But everyone is different, your family might take it differently, but my dad thinks I'm a total -blam!- up even though I have almost straight A's. If your family would be the type to shun you because of mere beliefs then they're not your family.
