If you are not going back there, this should be a non-issue as you'll no longer have to deal with those people. But...should you decide to venture back there, simply ask the next person who decides to challenge you, when the last time they beat their slave was, or if they ever ate a pepperoni pizza, or if their wife has short hair, do they know she's going to hell for that. Start pointing out all the unpleasant parts of the buy-bull and then walk away. Ask them how they can live with themselves knowing they try to sell a story of genocide (the ark) by making it look cute, to small children. Ask them if they wear cotton blends or any kind of mixed fabric.

You don't need that sort of negativity in your life.

Instead of appearing to be an atheist, convince others that you follow the silliest religion you know of. Then tell them to prove you wrong. Ask them to sit through lectures about your religion before making up their minds.

That's what I do.

Easy there with all the crazy advice! Do you want them to sick a couple of she-bears on him and 41 other children?!?

I was going for shock value.

You're 22 and you can't figure this one out for yourself?

Well, I'm 37, and I still have no clue as to how to deal with religious idiots.

If you have it all figured out, you tell me, because trying to educate them certainly doesn't work.

That's what Christians do -try and "save" you. One time a Christian family member  asked why I was not a christian. I answered that evolution was not compatible with fundamentalist Christianity . She said if I gave my heart to Jesus that he would solve that dilemma for me. I responded "Oh great! If I become a christian then god will make me stupid!" She stopped trying. A little sarcasm goes a long way.

You are older than that and still believe in fantasy, despite having some intelligence. See how this works?

Is there an age limit to when ask for help of others? No.

Had he been Xtian, you would be flooding him with bullshit disguised as support. You cant get past your silly beliefs but feel righteous to bring others down. For jeessus or god or whatever outlandish fantasy you live in.

So my whole family is christian i used to be, but going through highschool learning about physics and biology it made me stray away from the bible since it made no sense, but to put it simply I'm 22 now, i still live with my mom and my sister with her boyfriend while im studying graphic design.

They recently joined a new church and i promised my mom that i would come once just to make her happy because i know it wont affect me in any way. So i went, at the end though some of them came up to me to ask if i would come back. I replied "probably not, I'm an atheist". So then after that they tried to debate me on the existence of god obviously they had no proof and they just mocked evolution  and the big bang.

At the end though this is what really pissed me off they said "give it three months you will be reborn and sitting in this church willingly". What do i do in this situation im surrounded by people that think they will change me i cant reason with them because they are just mentally incompetent to think rationally.

This is a very difficult situation..
I Guess it depends on a factor of things.. ask yourself these questions and it might help you to find out the answer:

1. Are your family members offended by the fact you declare yourself as an atheist?
2. Do you feel it might change the relationship you have with them to the worst?
3. When they debate you, Is it a Good interesting debate or is it an "Attack" on you personally?
4. Can you handle the debate? Do you find your self with no answers? (If so, I will gladly provide you with my own experience and knowledge.. and can direct you to some great informational sources)
5. Are they (Your family) Primitive in their POV or are they  more "Modern" religious people?
6. Do you think you might be drawn to being religious again? (I Hope not )
7. Have you ever talked with them about other religions? (I know it might seem weird, but a lot of religion contradicts other religions and can raise some very interesting questions )
8. Whats the worst that can happen as you see it?
9. Are you feeling stressed because of the situation?
10. Did you have a genuine talk with them explaining them that your belief has got nothing to do with the way you feel about them (I Hope not at least )

There are many more questions.. At the end, its a question you must answer to yourself..
I Can assure you, that a lot of times it seems much harder than it really is..
Anyway, If you have any question or things you want some advice or another POV, I'm here

OP: tell them that despite the fact that you dont believe in god changes nothing of the fact that they are your family.
It doesn't have to change a thing.
