My mother is outright forcing me to talk to a minister and priest. Basically they're trying to make me believe again. It's incredible frustrating and I don't know how to deal with all of this. HEEELP MEEE?

Seems like a bad situation. If you fully articulate to the priest why you don't believe there will likely be repercussions. However I do not know if you have another choice. You could pretend, but youd have to keep that up until your old enough to move out, that's a hell of its own. I'd say be straight up and cut it down right in front of them, they may resent it initially but they will eventually just avoid the topic with you. Unless there is a chance of physical harm.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

My parents made me see a minister, too. (They also tried to Jesus council the "gay" out of my little brother, who turned out to just be going through a phase)
Unfortunately, as I was 14 at the time, I didn't have much choice. So I saw the minister. He was really cool about it. Way cooler about it than I had envisioned. I explained in no uncertain terms my beliefs and why I believed those things. (I would be much better at that now than I was when I was a 14 y.o. idiot.) He told me he respected that, and that I should always remember that life has surprises for you, that I should be open to certainties in my reality shifting. It was good advice. My parents were not satisfied... Just remember, no matter what, this person/people cannot make you believe in anything. At worst it can be a laughable experience that may be uncomfortable for the time being, but it will end. In the end I came to the conclusion that my parents believe wholeheartedly that I am going to miss out on eternity with them. That makes them a little desperate to try to get me there. For them it is out of love, not malice. RE: Forced to see a Minister.... UGHHH

The meetings are set up because my mother is "worried about my faith." *facepalm* Basically my parents are aware that I'm an atheist and are hoping I'll change my mind. My father says "You think you're an atheist, but you're not!" Like they know more about what I think than I do myself... So the minister knows what it's about and I'm pretty sure my mother will be there.

Can you 'nod' trough the whole deal and play along?
Make sure your bullshit detector has new batteries.
