How should I go about telling my parents that I'm atheist
#2
RE: How should I go about telling my parents that I'm atheist
First up, welcome aboard, Ghost.

It's a very difficult thing to give advice on. And I understand there can be serious repercussions and shunning when coming out of the LDS?

I would honestly suggest waiting until you're financially independent and in a stable situation before making the declaration.

Perhaps even mention atheism in passing and see their reaction. They might surprise you.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
