Fuck that. It's my mother fucking house It takes a lot of nerve to say "no more imposing religion on me." But my experiences is that it worked out for the better when I did. If you choose to take a stand, be firm but remain calm and above all be reasonable and civil. 
I find it safe and logical to, "remain in the closet", I'm almost of the age to be kicked out lol, although im sure that wouldn't happen. However, I do have a lot of privileges that may be taken back for a very immoral reason.

And I think it is a wise part for me to never tell my family that I am an atheist.

Acceptance and fair treatment don't naturally happen, they need to be fought for.

It is sad to hear how some parents behave. If my children wanted to be any religion I wouldn't stand in their way. I'd call them nuts, but I wouldn't stand in their way.

My mom is an irish theist  .

I take it you wouldn't try your hardest to keep your children out of college, Binny?
 I envy your children... I hope they understand just how lucky they are 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
Danngg - Sae just slaped kudos at everyone.
What will the future withhold for atheism? Will it be like... the opposite of now? Where everyone nearly is atheist, and like 6% religious? lol
