I told my cousin that I was Atheist.
So a couple of months ago I became an Atheist the rest of my family are Baptist. I haven't told anyone because most of them will not take it well and my mom would be especially upset. I love my family and they are great people, but you know how people can be when it comes to things they are passionate about, especially religion.
I just got done telling my older cousin that I was Atheist. We are like brothers and I was worried he would take it badly, turns out he doesn't believe in God either. It was really cool finding out that I am not alone. I just don't know how to break the news to the rest of my family. I have been asking questions and testing the waters but it only serves to get me in trouble like when I ask "what proof do we have of God?"
I am most likely going to wait until I'm 18 which will be in a year, but if a situation arose and I decided I wanted to tell them flat out that I'm Atheist how should I go about doing this Flood?

2 RepliesDon't make a big deal about it if it bothers you so much. Just say "Oh, by the way, I'm an atheist." Done. Simple. I never really understood closeted atheists. My entire family (except my brother, who is also an atheist) is some sort of Christian -- I honestly never bothered to ask which -- and everyone knows I am an atheist and have been since [spoiler]I found out Santa Clause wasn't actually delivering me presents at Christmas.[/spoiler]
