How to tell parents I'm an atheist

[Clueless Morgan]

Of course its up to him to decide how to live his own life, he is after all a individual.But if you don't stand up for yourself now you may come to regret it later,i know i have.The thing is in life you are gonna be surrounded by people who try to put you down one way or another, wether its because your an atheist or some other reason.Even after he moves out of his parents house the societal pressures wont stop. the community will probably still make it difficult for you.

if he gets himself thrown out of his house he might regret it. If he tells them and they force him into councilling with their pastor he might regret it. If he tells them and they have a terrible response he might regret it. If he doesn't speak up right now and waits until he's 18 or financially independent he might not regret it. Looking out for his well being by keeping his mouth shut might not be a regret for him. And nothing necessitates that he cave to societal pressures for the rest of his life because he waited until he was 18 to tell his parents he's an atheist.

If we focus on what he might regret we could argue forever.
