@wolfclan96, how much does your family already know about your skepticism?
Can you simply keep your skepticism private?
Are you expected to attend church, donate money, etc. as an obligation of identifying as a Christian?
I'm trying to solve the same problem in my life. My mother and I went to a evening service at the Catholic church a week ago. That was my first time in church for several years, and I enjoyed it. Being a "cultural Christian" might work for me. Ironically church seems more tolerable when I expect nothing.
