From some of your posts Nap , I can understand your Dad's contribution!!
Seriously, don't worry yourself, they obviously don't really care one way or the other, but choose the lazy option of paying a form of lip service to the idea.
My dad was not into religion in a big way, but my mum told me he did pray for me at some stage in our lives....fuck knows why he bothered, I would have told him not to bother!
my mum is still around at 96 . She knows more than my dad ever did about my atheism. She has been known to agree with me about it.
However, with ther grim reaper lurking, she still confessed to me that she believes in something after death and wants a minister at her funeral. I will have to comply but will do my best to make the event as religion-lite as possible.
