Need advice...

[AtheistPhil]

My question is this... what are we atheists fighting for? I mean, I definitely think the world would be a better place without religion, but if being an atheist separates me from my family... is it worth it? I mean, I could still be an atheist inside, but lie to everyone... or is that even worth it?

It's your family who must accept you like you are. You're really in a tough situation but you're certainly not the only one. Lying to everyone is just not possible, your existence would be hell as you'd have to always think and analyse your every actions before doing it, no one can handle that kind of stress. So the question "is it worth it ?" is meaningless as you have no choice, you are what you are, and you shouldn't feel guilty because your family cannot accept it.

There is a good advice column for atheist on the Friendly Atheist if you want to send them your questions.
