My mother did not understand that what I was being taught in Sunday school was completely different than what she was teaching me. She asked why I didn't tell her, but I was too young and was afraid to tell her that I hated that immoral god. Naturally, I was afraid to be in disagreement with my mother when I thought she believed in the Christian god. I was afraid she would disown me. My mother is kind to me even though she knows I am atheist now, but I still am afraid of what she would do if she truly knew what I am thinking. Because of this I try not to bring the subject up, but it is inevitable that we have to work this out because I still live with her.
Because I am still afraid, I want my story to be shared but for right now I would prefer to be anonymous.
