Yeah you're right. Why should I care if my own mother is living a lie her whole life? Seems silly doesn't it.
Just because your mother doesn't believe what you believe doesn't make it a lie. Just because you don't believe it to be true doesn't mean it is any less true to her. If she believed in fairies and it didn't affect her loving you or anything in the rest of her reality would you care? Could it be that you hate religion, or the religious enough to where simply holding that belief makes one unfit for society or useless?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
