I'm an atheist, but my parents are Lutheran. I've come out to them as an atheist multiple times, but each time they've told be to 'just give it some time'. I was forced into Lutheran confirmation, and now I am being forced to be an acolyte. As an acolyte, I will have to hold the cross, and walk up through the church with the cross in my hand, take communion (which I have refrained from doing the past 2 years), and sing the songs given to me, as well as say the Apostles Creed, which I don't believe in. I really don't want to go through with this. What should I do?
