Out fucking standing! I wish I had at least one relative in my family that was openly atheist, but unfortunately to my knowledge I am the only atheist in my entire known family. I don't sweat it but let's just say that intellectual stimulation in my family is as scarce as water in the desert. Congratulations to your brother for waking up early and not falling into the traps of superstition, that is hard to shake once it gets a hold of you.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
