One more thought, Soc . . . hopefully without coming across as a old-fogie auntie, if I do, please forgive. But one more thing to remember is: if your parents are true fundies, then they think that what they are doing by forcing you to go to church is the highest possible expression of their love for you. They believe that you will thank them when you are a happily married member of their church, with kids of your own. They believe that they are not only saving your soul from hell, but they are saving you from a terrible life - they think that without god, all life is meaningless and worthless.
Yes, I know it's horrible brainwashing, but there is nothing you can do about it. Arguing will only make them dig in their heels. Logic is threatening, and be careful with the bible questions . . . if they believe it's the perfect word of god, questioning it can make them angry.
I know. I lived through it. Hang in there, be true to yourself, and be careful.
