I also only a few weeks ago came out as atheist. They won't listen and I don't know what to do, I'm 12 and still seem to young to make a decision on my own to my parents. What can I do to convince them?
Lie, nod politely, do what they tell you, then when you hit the age of majority, tell them you're done with it.
There's really little point trying to confront your parents, you have almost no rights at this time in your life, and probably not enough physical strength to just do what you want.
