My dad's Catholic and he's always chuntering away about it and he acts as though he's superior, mentally.
It grinds on me that he is quite an intelligent person, well.. upon he was recently brainwashed I guessed.

That would be like Ryft, a theist on these boards who is well studied and thinks about God all the time. My mother is a Christian because it feels good to her, like I eat meat because it tastes good. When I said she doesn't think about it, I meant her reasons for being a Christian. She prays all the time, goes to church, and weaves God into her everyday language.
I am comparing someone who doesn't think about why they do something but do it just because it feels right to them to another person who doesn't think about why they do something but do it just because it feels right to them.
Oh, I missed the part where you said you were talking about your mother and not Napoleon's.
So you wasted your time refuting what I said, because we were talking about a different person! 
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Yeah you're right. Why should I care if my own mother is living a lie her whole life? Seems silly doesn't it.

Just because your mother doesn't believe what you believe doesn't make it a lie. Just because you don't believe it to be true doesn't mean it is any less true to her. If she believed in fairies and it didn't affect her loving you or anything in the rest of her reality would you care? Could it be that you hate religion, or the religious enough to where simply holding that belief makes one unfit for society or useless?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Its very frustraiting but some people are just so deep in the idea you cant do anything to change that. You can only reason with people that want to be reasoned with. (why do i think that is a film quote?)

Just because your mother doesn't believe what you believe doesn't make it a lie.

I think the point many people make, Tack, is that a lack of critical thinking in one area tends to lead to a lack in others - sometimes dangerously. But there are many good examples of people who believe bullshit and are otherwise perfectly sane beings capable of leading healthy, fulfilling lives. And there are others who don't. [shrugs]

It is the job of mothers to annoy their offspring. 
Oh and also embarrass the hell out of them at their 21st Birthday parties
