I'm an antheist and i recently told it to my parents. They understood it after some time. But I have a younger brother that goes to church every Sunday.
My parents think that if I'll stop going to church my brother will also stop without thinking why. (like " i don't want to go to church because my brother doesn't have to). I'd like him to find his way of thinking by himself . Although I he's still too young to think of it.
So my question is what should I do? Should I tell him the truth ?
Even though my parents were very easy going about me becoming an atheist this was a concern for them too. We never went to church really, but I did stop going to Sunday school. And they were worried that he may follow suit when the time came. I told them that I would never interject with what they wanted to teach him, but I wouldn't lie to him either if he asked me what I believed. I kept to my word and just 6 months ago he got Confirmed. I never once told him that he shouldn't go, I just kept my mouth shut about it.
