It's not like I hate him for being Christian but I know he's still my father and I love him no matter what his belief's are
Smart man. (you) Pushing him now is almost guaranteed to fail. You could leave little hints . . . drop a copy of Scientific American on the coffee table or something. But just love him and put up with him until you have your own place. If he's supporting you, you're a subordinate, and very few guys would listen to a belief challenge under those circumstances. But after you're on your own, things are different. Spend the time studying up on what you will someday show him. Good luck!
