When I was going to be confirmed Protestant little over 22 years ago, I told my mum that I'm an atheist, and she sighed a little and said, come on, it's a family tradition and we've already decided on the cakes. Cakes are arguably the bigger deal in my family than religion. So I got confirmed, the pastor knowing pretty much what I thought of the affair, which made it kind of funny. No biggie, you can just do it if you want to avoid conflict. It doesn't mean anything after all - except that in some countries like Germany, you get automatically deducted your Church tax
We'd have to know more about your background to judge whether rebelling is worth it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
