Use the word 'boundary.'
For years my mom used to try to get me to go to church with them on special occasions. She would try to guilt trip me, saying 'come to be with family' or 'I just want to be with you while you are in town.' Stuff like that. Finally, I told her that it was a boundary I will not cross. If she would like to continue to cross that boundary, that's up to her.
Most people are averse to crossing boundaries that are clearly defined.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
