Hello all. I'm an atheist (Please do not hate on me, just listen to my story) and my parents are forcing me to go to church.
My mom and dad have known that I am an atheist for the past year, and have constantly tortured me about it- they have grounded me at least five times over the fact that I'm an atheist.
They also are forcing me to go to Church. One night, when I was supposed to go with my mom, (My dad was doing something, which I forget what it is), I finally got extremely angry my ground. I yelled to my mom that the only way she was going to get me to that church is to physically force me too, and she got very angry. She called my father, and they both basically dragged me there.
Now, they are forcing me to get my conformation.
What do I do?

| Explain to them that you won't convert. My mom is open minded and my dad is trash and I don't see him so I dot know how your parents will react. |

Why would your parents force you to do something that you do not wish? I am not atheist, but why would anyone want to persecute someone just because they don't have a religion. I think your parents are overreacting about the fact that you aren't in their religion. But on what you should do, I do not know. |

>Hates church for no reason besides not believing in one side of a 50-50 chance >Doesn't want to even be agnostic
I don't understand why you don't just go? Agnostics like me go all the time + if you tell your parents you're agnostic they wont disown you as much.
Being completely atheist is completely dumb, along with being completely religious. |

Honestly you will either need to seek help (not for not believing mind you,but to sort out the issue between you and your parents) or pretend to believe until you can move out. |

i thought the same way until i realized being 100% agnostic was stupid. i assume that op means he is agnostic atheist, meaning that he doesnt believe in god, but doesnt know for sure. thats how i am. thats how most atheists are. |

"Why can't you be 100% agnostic?"
because everyone is agnostic. agnostic has nothing to do with whether or not you believe in a god, its about whether or not you know one exists. no one knows if any god exists or doesnt, so everyone is agnostic. you are either agnostic theist or agnostic atheist, no matter how slight your belief (or lack thereof) is. |

Now they're telling me, " If you're an atheist, you will go to hell!"
Do my parents realize that they cannot threaten me with something I do not believe in? |

I am an atheist, I don't go to church if forced, but I will go if asked politely.
