I am dealing with the reverse, a non-religious, non-practicing family becoming more religious as a result of being near the religious. I have to say the horror I found discovering Mary on my parents calendar and Desktop monitor. But as long as they aren't going to church (and are adverse to doing so) that is tolerable, yet disturbing that they are starting to believe there is a 'god out there'. Had a conversation in a restaurant with my father a year back, and he claimed there was something in Christianity and other religions, of course there is not but what can one do. I guess I have to count my blessings I was born into vaguely religious family, when I was growing up. Yet tragically Atheist/Agnostic/Irreligious literature was lacking and I had to buy my own.
