Why post if you don't read the entire thing? Especially when your replying to the post you didn't read.
@Geno It all depends on the person really, my parents wouldn't mind if I was gay or religious(we aren't religious to begin with); that being said I'm neither. It's really hard for anyone to say which is a bigger matter though, mainly because it's all based on opinions.

Honestly, at least in my opinion, it would be best to get that off of your chest, and let them know how you are feeling. If you keep quiet, those emotions will reside, and I don't think you want that sort of thing bogging your mind. Don't force yourself, but when you feel the time is right, don't hesitate to lay it all out on the line. If your parents love you like parents should, they'll hear you out. They may not like it, but they'll certainly hear what you have to say. It may cause temporary tension, but it's better than you carrying that burden on your shoulders.
At least, that's my opinion. | | | | |
Uhh yeah that would be best If you are only capable of thinking about yourself If you were to tell your parents you don't believe in god, you would basically make their worst nightmare a reality To a religious parent, this means that their kid is going to hell to suffer eternally You will totally tear them up for absolutely no reason, it doesn't even benefit an atheist to have other people know he's an atheist Take it from me, I'm an atheist who lives with an extremely religious family and its just fine simply pretending to be a christian Besides christian girls are hot and simple-minded

in seriousness tho just like don't bring it up if it's not going to accomplish anything. if they try and force s*** on you then i guess tell them you're not comfortable with it but otherwise let it rest man.

Jeez, when I first checked this topic, I thought it was about coming out of the closet about your sexuality. KP is completely right. Your parents want you to go to church and believe in God because they think that if you don't, you won't be alongside them in the afterlife. For religious people, that's a big thing, if you didn't realize. If your personal beliefs don't conflict with those of your parents, then leave it as it is. Of course, if you're converting to a religion that says you can't worship other gods, then you might wanna consider a conversation about religion. But if you just don't believe in a higher power, then continue to take part in the tradition, if only to make your parents happy. It means a lot to them, and all you have to do is take part in some rituals that you don't put any worth into, so you lose nothing. How many "technical virgins" have you known? My counter is stuck at one.
