I used to, and my family still does, though they are moderate christians. They don't believe in Hell and they don't hate other religions or atheism.
My dad believes in an afterlife though, and he said more than once that the most important thing is to pray to Jesus.
My mom is uncertain about the afterlife and doesn't see other religions as inferior, but she once said that she will never change her religion or her domination. I asked her why, she replied me "Because I feel so".
She told me, that we may never know if a God exists or not, but praying gives you positive energy. WTF?
So she's clayming that you need to imagine that an invisibile being exists and protects you in order to be happy, rather than seeing the world for what really and surely is?
I really love my mom, but this statement is just silly.
Everybody is silly before they become intelligent.
This is normal.
We all go through this process.
It is like driving a car.
First first gear.
After that higher gears and then full speed.
Keep on loving your mother
even if she will not become silly atheist like you. 
She is doing ok.
