Monalisa, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. A lot of people around here have experienced something similar. You lose belief while those around you retain it, it's hard to know what to do or say. You may be wondering how much to share with your family, and worrying that they will disown you if you say anything at all.
The only advice I might try and give you is to look at your religious teachings for the philosophical meanings. Strip out the gods and the magic, and try and find the things about it that do help. Perhaps it teaches focus on family, forgiveness, or other ways to try and lead a happier and more fulfilled life. This may allow you to retain your own thoughts, like lack of belief in those supernatural things, but also not lose your family or get into trouble.
Best wishes to you!!
