And I didn't say that all atheists are moral or that I'm perfectly moral, I said that there are a lot of rules in the Bible which christians don't respect, I don't have a moral code on paper which I don't respect, that's what I said. And sometimes lying is required. Do you know what would happen if I told my parents the truth? They would be shocked, they would enforce Christianity even more on me. Dad especially would make a scene. I would expect him to forbid me to go to college. So yeah, I'm a bit of a pussy too, but the "imagine that a God exists for comfort" persons are even bigger pussies. They're literally afraid of reality, at the very least I'm afraid of the people I depend on.
Not to mention that I'm a happy case, there are many atheist kids with fundamentalist parents.
For a Christian lying is never acceptable. Christians respect the moral code that God has given us, do we comply always, no we do not we are humans and we fail, we have seen the need of Jesus to redeem us unto God. Lying to your parents means you do not trust them nor do you respect them and I can tell you this leads to a dangerous life's choice. Of coarse this is all your call but I see it as a disaster later in life. Facing up to your parents now will in the end have a better result.

"if through my falsehood", that is in your book. Look it up.
Oh and even outside that, any deity willing to murder kids like the Egyptian Firstborn, and the flood, I think is perfectly capable of lying and wanting his minions to lie for him.
