Ever since I joined a church I have strayed farther away from religion. It never made sense to me. The situation isn't bad yet, but it's just really annoying because in wasting about 1 1/2 hours on some gathering I really don't care about.

Then again, my parents can get really sensitive about these things...

Better to have the truth out in the open and mend a gap than hide behind a wall of deceit.

It's also not my parents

I've done so much for the church already and leaving them will really just sour my reputation among them.

It is still better to be truthful.

It's best to tell them, as you don't want to hide it much longer.

Be truthful.

If they can't accept your truth, then it's not your fault.

For you'd have to tell them sooner or later.

The truth hurts and there's no need to tell them.

You messed up. Don't hide it any longer.

I'd tell them that you really don't give about church and you can worship whoever at home.

~ If I gave 80% of not caring, that 20% would mean time well wasted.

Well that's a tough situation, but I'd recommend talking it out with your parents. What do you do for the church?

Unless your family is apart of Westboro I'm sure telling them will be fine, the odds that they'd disown you are quite slim.

Ah. Well, the way I look at it, you're giving them an extra hand around church, and I'm sure they appreciate that. But my best advice is to just talk to your folks about this (because I'm really bad at this, lol).

What I'm afraid of is that they will try too hard to convert me to Christianity (Christian therapy, Bible study, etc.)

I will advise you, though, not to confuse religion with relationship. There's more Christianity than just going through the motions- going to church on Sundays, surface reading the Bible, that sort of stuff. That could be why it doesn't make much sense to you and why you're becoming more and more indifferent to religion. Attending church and reading the Bible can feel like a priority sometimes; that much I get.

do what feels right
if you think you should tell people, gather up the courage that you're not sure god gave you and open up your mouth you're not sure god created
if not, have fun with your friends there, who knows, maybe faith'll happen to you naturally, just don't force anything upon yourself that you don't want to do

Tell them God gave you a vision last night, and told you it was your destiny to become Agnostic. They can't oppose you if it was the will of God that made you agnostic, eh?

Here's an idea: Say, "I have an Atheist friend in my school, who WILL NOT stop saying 'God isn't real!' what do I do?" If they something along the lines of, "If anyone said they was an Atheist back in MY day. I would of beat them into the ground so hard that they would go up and have a brief meeting with Jesus, then they would come back down and PRAISE DAH LOWD for the rest of their existence," It's prolly better to keep your belief to yourself.

But, on a more serious note. I've received mixed reactions from friends, some said their parents sent them to regular meeting with the Pastor and it's really annoying, and how the whole church is trying to get them to become Christian again.

Others have said that their parents took it rather well, but if you want to tell them, see what type of mood they're in, as in, don't be telling them something like that when a family member has died, or something bad has happened in their life or they are just annoyed, wait until they're in a good mood again before telling them, trust me, it's better for your health.
