I'm no longer a christian, how do I break this to my parents?

September 9, 2012 at 1:39 am (This post was last modified: September 9, 2012 at 1:41 am by AspiringAtheist.)

I've finally gotten the opportunity to study evolution. While it was only once course, I found it had a lot more truth to it than the many theological classes I was forced to take, so I am proud to say I'm an atheist as of last year. However, my parents are both strong Christians, as well as my sister. I love them so much, but their ignorance is just painful to hear. My mom's always signing me up for Bible studies, church events, and youth group. I'm just sick and tired of attending all these Christian events whenever I have free time, since I don't even believe in God anymore. However, I have a very positive relationship with my parents, and I don't want to lose that. If I told them my beliefs, I'm afraid that I will. I mean seriously, they had an intervention when they found out I was nice to gay people. -_- Any suggestions?
