How do I get out of my mothers house.

Hey guys. My Atheism and my mothers Christianity are clashing and were slowly becoming enemies. She cannot take criticism because every time I give her arguments to refute and debunk hers, she gets upset as if I'm trying to hurt her. I need to get out of here but I cannot get a job because I have no job experience so nobody wants to take their chances with me, and I cannot get SSI from Social Security because they claim I'm not "mentally disabled enough" and I tried appealing to them, and I got nothing. So, I have no way to get money to afford housing. Are there alternatives so I can get out of this household? Thanks a bunch.
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

It is difficult to get a job if you have no experience. Could you take some classes at a local community college? You don't have to get a degree but you could earn a certificate in something that would help you get a job.
My own son had problems finding a job. Everyone wanted experience and jobs like working at a fast food restaurant that used to hire young, inexperienced people went to older people. Finally my husband got him a job where he works making more than minimum wage. My son is in college so he just wanted a part time job and wasn't looking to support himself.
When my husband was young and wanted to leave home, he joined the military. Of course, when he was a young man in the middle of the eighties the United States wasn't at war with anyone.

Walk out the front door.

I'm tempted, but I have no place to go.

I think that he means to ask how does he stop being dependent on his mother's income and support himself financially. LOL

Maybe just best to avoid the topic, until you are able to get out on your own.

Why are you having arguments with your mother?
Who's starting them?
How about you let her have her delusion and she lets you have a roof over your head?

Well, that's pretty tough since I talk about Atheism on my youtube channel and I'm pretty critical of religion, so, as I keep making videos about atheism, she may eventually want to step in and defend her faith and I don't want that, because then another argument starts and well, then we're back to square 1.

There are plenty of jobs that require no experience. Otherwise no one would be able to get a first job. (Retail, Fast food, temp work, detailer at an auto dealer) You just might have to do something that you might not enjoy/like in order to put enough money away in order for you to be independent.
In the meantime, maybe you make religion an off-the-limits topic of discussion between you and your mom? Why broach the subject if it affects your relationship like this?
I'm sure your mother would support you going to some sort of vocational school. You could get scholarships, (believe it or not there are scholarships out there just for people diagnosed bipolar) you could learn a skill, and you could set yourself up for going to college for a career if that's what you want to do.
But the worst thing you can say is "no one will hire me." That's just an excuse. Get out there and make it happen. You might not start where you want (you might have to sling fries for a while) but show up to work on time and develop a reputation for being reliable and a good worker, and then you have a reference, and can get a better job.
You gotta make it happen.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
