I was raised in an italian american catholic home (only in name) I did communion and confirmation and all that shit but in all honesty that was probably the only 2 times I've ever been in church since baptism. My family does not go to church. So when I alerted my family nobody gave a fuuuuuuuuuuuck. I mentioned it in passing and you would've thought i asked if there was milk in the house. My parents shrugged and said "ok" and my pops chuckled a little.
Personally my story is not interesting but i have heard from many other people that told their family that they were atheist when they were young and it didnt turn out well. Anybody
I had the same kind of background and family as yours...maybe even better because my mom was a methodist or some such shit. That meant my dad married a non-catholic in the 1930's so you can see how seriously he took that shit.
The only time it was ever an issue was when we decided not to have my first son baptized. Not that they gave a shit about the church but they wanted to have a party and were concerned with what other people would think. So, no big deal.
