Good grief! Your family is so uneducated? As for your beliefs, it wouldn't matter if you never read another "atheist book" (whatever they are) your issue seems to be (and rightly so) based on evidence to "believe" anything. Quite frankly I don't think I believe in anything but certainly would put more trust in science evidence than anything some religious nutjobs would want me to be "open minded" about.
You Americans really suffer with this whole lack of education that develops into "Bible belts" don't you? We have them here in Oz (sort of) but being a bit more secular they don't have an impact. So. You are feeling isolated and alone.
What are we? Swiss cheese? joking. You have us here and I am sure you will find someone in your vicinity who thinks along the same lines.
