Hi There
Thank you taking the time to read this. I was just wondering how many, if any of you have to keep your views seceret and how do you deal with religious family members?
I'm an atheist or at least I think I am, and I am part of a very religious family who I can't stand being around because of their views. EVERYTHING is about Jesus with them. I am saving to move away from them and quit my job (at a church of all places) but until then I have to keep my mouth shut and keep my head down. How do you deal with religious family without going completely crazy?
