Does anyone else feel disgusted by religious words?
#1
Question 
Does anyone else feel disgusted by religious words?
Words associated with Chrisitianity (for example God, Jesus, Church, cross), Islam (Allah, Coran, Mohammed, mosque) and with Judaism (synagogue, Moses, Noah's ark) make me feel disgusted. Everytime I hear, spell or think about them it literally makes me sick to my stomach, luckily never to the point of throwing up.
Words from Non-abrahamic religions disgust me less, but I still dislike many of them. 
This will make the moment when I'll come out as atheist to my family hard, because I'll have to hear and spell these words. My family members will try to convince me to return to the faith, so they'll use these words and I'll have to explain them why I don't want to return, so I'll have to use these words.
Could I use the fact that I'm disgusted by religious words as an argument when I'll come out of the closet?
Does anyone feel the same regarding religious words?
