It takes time to feel comfortable with being an atheist in a family that is predominantly theist.To my knowledge I am the only atheist in my entire family.My youngest sister is on the fence but when things go bad in her life she looks to god in a hurry lol.The way I see it is that if your family wants you to respect their beliefs,it's a two way street and they have to do the same and respect your unbelief as well.The old adage "you have to give respect to get respect holds true here".
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
