Could really use some help on how to tell family...

Well I must admit I got a laugh out of that. Though it's true, because over the last few days I have had to just walk away from her, so I didn't just go on a rant with her. Most of the time when she brings up "god" or how I should incorporate the idea of god with my life, I usually just nod and go um yeah I'll think about that. Which I don't but it keeps her quiet for awhile but I really wish I knew how to get her to just let me be myself, not try to shove religion down my throat, and respect my beliefs. Though I realize some of the fault is on my part because I haven't told her. I'm thinking about just wait for her to bring up "god" again and just calmly give her my honest opinion and beliefs? Though when I say atheist, she will automatically lump me in with the devil worshipers of the world.

Edit:
Nope not doing psychology, going to be a surgical tech, then nursing school. Which my mother in her scary views doesn't feel that non christians should be working in the medical field (people will die), educational (children need to be taught about god), or government (country will fail). So she will probably tell me that I need to choose a different path because everyone I deal with will die since their caretaker doesn't believe in god. The only reason I bring this up is so before anyone else answers they know what I am facing here.
