Re: Leaving a family religion - May 28th 2010, 02:19 AM
After I chose to not practice religion anymore, it caused some tension between me and my family as well. As long as you are still a good person, it dosen't really matter what religion you practice or if you don't practice any religion at all. In my opinion, everyone has the right to choose what religion is right for them including not being affiliated with a religion at all.

To answer your question, demonstrate to your family that you are still a good person and hopefully, it will become easier for your family to accept your decision on religion. If you are happy with the religion that you practice, continue to practice it despite objections from your family.

"People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word."
