Sometimes it's hard for me to shut up about my atheism

I cant tell my parents untill I become financially independet, but untill then, how can I be sure that they won't find out? Huh

You just have to be smart.

Don't argue with them about it
Don't fight going to church or anything else
Don't give them any cause to suspect

Also, be damn sure they cannot access your computer, or have any reason to.  This is doubly important if your family shares a computer.  You don't want "atheistforums.org" popping up if someone else types an 'a' into the address bar.

I get where you're coming from.  Not only is the rest of my family Catholic to one degree or another, they're all Trump voters.  And sometimes it's really, really hard to bite my tongue.  But I do it anyway, because the alternative for myself is worse.

So, just be careful.  Vigilance is your best bet until you can move out.
