Going to church for family events?

[Rockthatpiano06]

My mom's side of the family is extremely catholic, and my dad's side is methodist so I was brought up going to Sunday school and things but always really questioned. I don't know exactly when I became an atheist but I think somewhere in high school I pretty much decided there as no God, and as a learn more and more I realize the chances of their being a God are nil.

But anyways, I live with my extremely religious aunt and this summer we went to my other aunt's wedding which was in a catholic church. I was very uncomfortable because my aunt that I live with knows about my atheism, as does my immediate family and friends but nobody else really does. It's not that I'm ashamed, I just don't talk about it to avoid conflict. Basically, I just didn't join in the prayer or any of the ritualistic bs, I was just there to support my aunt because I love her. I think I would probably avoid the christening. My grandparents didnt go to my christening because I wasn't being christened catholic, so the way I see it its the same thing.
