I'm a Closet Atheist

[Cecelia]

I don't have the heart to call the police on him, even if he's being a jerk. It's just easier to nod my head, and ignore him when he brings up religion. He's practically the only family my husband has left. If we hadn't just recently had our house built, and I didn't live within walking distance to the school I work at, we'd move away so he wouldn't be so close. I can always remind myself that he's not all there (he didn't think Catholics were Christian, and thought Merry Christmas was Mary Christmas, as in Mary mother of Jesus, and he got upset not just when people said Happy Holidays, but when people didn't specifically say Merry Christmas). I've also learned that if you get him on the subject of cars, he'll gladly just talk about that instead of religion.
