How did you deal with religious family members?
I personally just kept my mouth shut and gritted my teeth

We're all "Catholics", here. My two eldest sons and I are atheists. The youngest son I haven't verified, but I think that he is too. My wife is a believer. That said, I haven't set foot in a church but maybe 5 times in the last 15 years, and then only for marrying and burying. We don't pray or discuss the bible in our house.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

We learned not to talk religion or politics. Still plenty of other ways to piss people off.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Justcook them a little slower.

All of my religious family members are 10 000 - 12 000 miles away. I'm good.

I stuff them full of turkey and other tasty morsels. So much so, there are little edgewise words.
