I would, but 1) i live abroad for my studies and 2) They do not know i am an atheist...of course i know that this isnt about being religious or not, its about common human decency, but still to them a priest is almost the highest authority they know. Critisizing a priest is blasphemy to them.
Seems to me that eventually a debate around both matters must happen..or it'll fester and breed resentment on your side.
Good luck however you tackle your problem.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
