Family not accepting you're an Atheist

[UniverseCaptain]

Hello,

Does anyone have a difficult family that won't accept you're an Atheist? I've always been an Atheist, but my family all believe in a higher power. I don't mind people believing different to me (as long as they don't get abusive about it in any way), but they simply can't comprehend that I'm an Atheist - if it's ever mentioned they imply I'm in denial, which is ridiculous. I am more looking for input from someone in a similar position on how to approach this better mentally, not holding my breath though as I can see the forum is inactive.

Best Wishes

Actually the most recent part of my life, is a younger sister whom told me she had "become" an atheist years ago, just a couple years ago now claims she is not. I mark that up to the fact, unfortunately, she lost both her adoptive father and mother. I am quite confident that her "sudden" backslide into god belief was a result of PTSD.

Maybe she wanted you to disagree with her (when she claimed she is now not) and convince her for sure on Atheism. Not sure.
