She asked me questions, we talked about the bible and while she is concerned she says she still loves me and will always accept me no matter what I think. I felt like a boulder was lifted from my shoulders. I wish everyone could have someone like her in their life.
I had to watch this because for the longest time I was afraid of my grandmother finding out about my non-belief. She was the only one who didn't know. Today she came to me and asked me if I went to church and when I said no, she simply asked about my belief. I told I didn't believe, and to my surprise she didn't lash out at me or try to shun me.
@montypythonfanatic1 I can relate to your situation. I kept silent for over 25 yrs w/my family. If you still live at home and depend on them, stay closeted until you are on your own. I came out slowly, I didn't bring it up but waited until religion was brought up and then would say things like "I just can't believe that." I didn't use atheist to define myself to them, just kept providing reasons why I couldn't believe what they did. Now we just don't discuss religion.
I am a closeted atheist and I am very terrified to come out to my family. My grandparents are republican methodist christians and I feel if I tell them they will not love me anymore my mother does believe in god and I know if I told her I would break her heart. I am the only atheist in my entire family and I am afraid to be cast out. I need help.
