Any advice?

Oh dear, yes it is really sad your mum wants to send you to a faith school even after learning that it means nothing to you. It's totally unfair, but sadly, your mum gets to make these decisions for now.

My advice is to focus on the fact that you are rejecting beliefs, not reject your mum and all the good things she has taught you, religious or otherwise. You are still the same person and love her just as much. The fact that she can offer no rational reason for why you should reconsider your faith just goes to show that it's all made up nonsense. If there was any truth to it, people wouldn't need "faith", which amount to believing things without evidence. It's a sad fact that this has been promoted as a virtue, rather than just gullibility.

So as others have said, hang in there, don't cause arguments unless it's unavoidable then you can do what you like when you're old enough. Good for you for standing up for what you believe and not caving to the pressure. You are very brave I look forward to hearing how things work out for you.

Please bring any questions you have to the forum, we have all sorts of great people here who know lots about many different subjects.
