Why does my family want me to be christian so much?

My parents genuinly forbid me to be an atheist and I didn't insult them. I made this tread, because I actually don't understand them and want to walk in their shoes. I'm not mad at them any longer.
Look, I am young, I might've exaggerated in other posts, I admit I did reply too harsh to you sometimes and I'm sorry for that.
But I'm NOT trying to play the victim role. And about that post when I "complained about my religious teacher having a baby", I still don't think I was discriminating, maybe overreacting.
I really disagree with religion, especially with the fundamentalist perspective, and I see children who were taught religion from the moment they're born on an everyday basis. But I would never force anyone to agree with me and I never stated all religious people are awfull. If I ever have children, I will not convert them into atheism, I will tell my viewpoint and give them the freedom to ask any question and believe what they want. If a christian would dislike the fact that I, an atheist, have kids, I wouldn't feel offended as long as they wouldn't be mean to me. Maybe they believe in Hell, and think my kids and I will burn in Hell and they're concerned for us. Maybe they've been brainwashed into thinking that all atheists are evil, or maybe they just believe atheism is wrong and because of that we should be atheists.
Take this example, let's say there are some parents that raise their kids in a way you disagree with. Then imagine the majority of people around you were like that, and because of that you would be sick of their lifestyle. Maybe you wouldn't express it out loud or really care, but you would still disagree.
I wasn't trying to say religious are lesser beings or that they'll be awfull parents. I just dissagree with their religious belief. Religious are humans who have religious belief. If you thought it's bad that a parent teaches their kids a wrong ideology, it would'nt mean you're bigoted.
