how to live as an Atheist in a Christian family

RE: how to live as an Atheist in a Christian family
You are 19 years old, not 15. You are an adult, your Dad can't make you go to church or make you do anything else. I'd say keep looking for work, find a job and move out. Then don't talk to your parents for a good long while, they'll probably realize what assholes they have been. Your parents only have sway over you right now because you are financially dependent on them. If you stop being financially dependent then they can't tell you to do shit. Maybe they are paying for your college or something, but you have your whole life to go to college. Nowhere is there a rules book that says you have to go to college when you are right out of high school. You can become stable first and then go on your own with no help from your parents. There is no reason that you should have to put up with this type of treatment at your age.
