Perhaps I should clarify a couple things.
My parents may or may not be that harsh when it comes to college, it is just that my dad has hinted around about it. But even if so, I am very grateful to them because they right now are paying for me to do college classes online through my junior and senior (if all goes as planned, I will have an associates degree from Liberty University when I finish high school). Even though some things are tense regarding the issue of religion, we very rarely talk about and we all get along really well. I also have friends at church, including my youth pastor, none of whom know I am an atheist (although they probably get a little suspicious when I stop talking whenever the topic of things like homosexuality and abortion comes up). Also, I only have 4 siblings (the number 7 I wrote included me and my parents).
But thank you all for your welcoming and encouragement. And I'll keep your suggestion in mind Faith No More. Nothing like pro tips from a seasoned atheist lol.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand Russell
Even if god did exist, he has yet to prove it, and our doubt is justified.
