Welcome aboard!

Being 12, you're a bit dependent on your parents... And your mom doesn't seem thrilled to hear about your non-belief.
She's prepared a session of brain washing with other people... Good luck with that! You're young...too young... You may fall for their tricks, or not.
Argument from ignorance (how can you explain this if not with good?) is a favorite technique...known to be fallacious reasoning, but they'll dress it up to sound "logical". And they may use logical arguments than seem solid...except for a couple of premises that make you go "not necessarily".

Keep in mind that no one knows anything about the divine...they merely "believe" in it. Luckily, the clue is in the title: believe.
The requirement of belief itself is the most damming thing for religions...and yet, people fail to grasp this detail... :/

Check this




At the end of the day, it may be better for you to pretend to accept it while you're living under her roof...
Your call.
