How did you deal with religious family members?
I personally just kept my mouth shut and gritted my teeth

We're all "Catholics", here. My two eldest sons and I are atheists. The youngest son I haven't verified, but I think that he is too. My wife is a believer. That said, I haven't set foot in a church but maybe 5 times in the last 15 years, and then only for marrying and burying. We don't pray or discuss the bible in our house.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

We learned not to talk religion or politics. Still plenty of other ways to piss people off.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

All of my religious family members are 10 000 - 12 000 miles away. I'm good.

I stuff them full of turkey and other tasty morsels. So much so, there are little edgewise words.
