Family not accepting you're an Atheist

[possibletarian]

Hello,

Does anyone have a difficult family that won't accept you're an Atheist? I've always been an Atheist, but my family all believe in a higher power. I don't mind people believing different to me (as long as they don't get abusive about it in any way), but they simply can't comprehend that I'm an Atheist - if it's ever mentioned they imply I'm in denial, which is ridiculous. I am more looking for input from someone in a similar position on how to approach this better mentally, not holding my breath though as I can see the forum is inactive.

Best Wishes

I've not really faced this most of my friends from church know i don't believe anymore, in fact they tend to ask me questions that implies they are doubting too.

But on the very rare occasion i get asked about my lack of faith, i simply ask them about their lack of faith in Allah or Thor then ask them to justify their belief rather than my unbelief.

It's not really meant to prove a point about the existence (or lack of) their god, but to show that they too dismiss gods and that they have the task of justifying their own belief to themselves.
