I'm characterizing him as ungrateful because he seems to have pretty good parents, but instead of being grateful for them, he whines about their moderate religious beliefs.

Where do you get unable? He's been able to do it so far.

No, I advocate that they appreciate all the good their parents do for them and put this issue on the back burner until they're able to support themselves.

Who the fuck is Die to decide how his parents should run their own household?
Knock it off. Die does not owe their parent loyalty to the religion they were sold. Die has every right to have their own thoughts on that issue. My late adoptive mom DID NOT disown me when I told her I no longer believed. At first she did think it was just a phase, but she never thought I was being ungrateful. I consider myself lucky. Muslims and Christians whom decide to ditch the religion of their parents and leave it for another, or not have one at all, get far worse than I did. Die is rightfully concerned. I have seen it the negative backlash with my younger biological sister. Our biological family has since calmed down, and lucky for her she was an adult.
If you think it is easy with the cost of living for a 17 or 18 or 19 year old to suddenly move out with no complete education, or even just a high school education today, again, you are an IDIOT. From what Die has said, and what others are saying, the best thing for Die to do is STAY at home and plan and save for the day they can leave. If Die needs to come here and bitch so that they don't blow up at home, that venting is coping. None of that means Die wants a war at home, Die like many teens, when they don't have like minded family, they need someone to talk to.
