Welcome to the forum.
I got/came out during my rebellion year's at age 13, so not quite the same. Plus religion for my parents was more of fitting in socially and business connection thing than actually about the religion (Lutheran). Definitely not card carriers.
The "we'll pray for you" crap has to suck. I don't think I could take that for long. Have you tried to set down some ground rules about not discussing anything religion when you and your SO are around? My position is, if you're religious you can practice it all you like so long as it does not intrude upon my lack of belief. If it were my family, and they kept it up, they wouldn't see much of me. Some folks just can't seem to give up their false religious entitlement "rights" to judge others.
My wife is cafeteria catholic, we get along fine. Other than thru the net, I think I interact with two other atheists IRL on a regular basis. And I get along well enough with the other religionoids around me, even though we step on each others toes from time to time.
Excellent first post, keep coming around.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
