I wish you luck, hope you make right choice, which ever it is.
I don't really have much to say on this. I guess Kayenneh had different situation even we live in same country. But to me it sometimes sounds like we don't.. I haven't come out, but I don't think I even can. And that's because I literally know like one person that I can for sure say believes in God and he's like my friend's friend's brother. But in nutshell I would say that here, nobody cares. Everyone keeps their views to theirself. I have guesses, but I can't say I know my parents religious views, my brothers religious views, my sisters religious views.
And even people who work with religion pretty usually understand to keep it theirself in public situations when there isn't really a need to bring it up. My old friends parent was missionary and I never heard him talk anything about religion when I was at their home or something that would be like extremely religious. Only things I remember was pray before eating and sometimes she used phrases like "bless you" that also not so religious persons might as well use. And if I would started to talk about religion with her I guess she would be like "Are you sure you want to talk about this" and so on.
But yea, I guess that doesn't really help you much. Here everyone is just quiet about their religion and I'm not sure if most of young people here even know what church they belong. I didn't before I was 15. And I got no idea what they believed in, to me religion have never meant anything more than bed-time stories at 5 years old. (I loved the stories, but I guess I missed religious point, when donkey was my favorite character in that 'Maria and Joseph went to Betlehemn-story'). But anyway may flying spaghetti monster have mercy on your souls and everything hopefully will go well to you!
