I had a friend who was religious with very religious parents who was dating an atheist. She didn't lie about his religion just about the fact that she was dating him. I think sometimes it's hard. especially at some ages. When you are in your teens and your parents still have so much control over your life, then in certain cases it would make sense to lie to them about such things.

Now even older couples I get about lying about religion to grandparents, since that generation is very stubborn. In some cases I would see even extending that into extended family. My aunts and uncles are very religious, they don't even know that I'm not religious at all. So while my parents don't care they might. However I'm not going to bring it up myself, I mean why lie if they don't even ask the question?
