Atheism and your family

[My imaginary friend is GOD]

None from my immediate family. My mother is also an atheist, my brother describes himself as an apatheist (he's really also an atheist), and my father is agnostic (we're slowly bringing him over to the dark side). However, I do have an aunt that has a tendency to buy me religious stuff for Christmas. Actually, she didn't get me anything this year so, problem solved. Also, my father awkwardly said grace at a gathering with his parents recently. AT HIS OWN HOUSE. I would've just skipped it, 'cuz fuck 'em, let's eat already.

My immediate family really doesn't care. My parents never go to church, never talk about God, really show no interest in it at all, although they both claim to believe in God. When I told my mom I was questioning the existence of God all she said was, "surely you believe in God..."

My grandma isn't overly religious either. The people that are super religious in my family are aunts, cousins, etc. People I generally only see on Facebook or large gatherings. So basically I've received little to no feedback on my atheism.

I became an atheist at 20 and my family really didn't care one way or the other at that point. Then again, my family was never especially religious. My dad used to go to mass every Sunday, but then he started working shift work and Sunday morning wasn't always available anymore (plus, since he's a hard-core labor-union democrat, he wasn't too fond of everyone else demanding he praise Ronald Reagan).

They had a much harder time accepting that I'm trans, especially my dad, but that seems to be pretty damn common.
