Actually, Lek, what this reads to me is someone who has made a decision not to believe in the religion they were brought up in and the family just won't accept that fact. It's something we, as atheists encounter quite a lot.
I don't see any hatred or disdain here. I do see frustration.
From a personal perspective, 20 years after I became an atheist, my mother and her sisters, Catholics, are still pushing their beliefs on me, even when I tell them that's enough.
Yet they have the gall to complain about other relatives, Jehovah's Witnesses, trying to push their brand of cultish Christianity onto the Catholics. "Can't they accept boundaries??"
