I haven't told my parents that i am atheist, but i have implied my beliefs to them, and plenty of them are not compromisable to Christians. I do not know when the best time to them is yet, but i am willing to tell them if the time is right. |
I've been an athiest for a long time, but I have never told my parents this. Whenever I go home my parents want me to go to church with them, so the farthest I have come is telling them that I didnt agree with their preacher and church on many religious issues and do not want to worship with them.
My parents, probably like your parents, might not be able to understand the reasons for your beliefs. My parents never went to college and have no understanding of modern science, and being an college educated engineer myself I could never explain physics, biology, chemistry or the like to them in a way that they could understand my reasoning, so I find it best to keep such things to myself.
Of course, you know your parents well and can make a good guess at what their reaction could be, but if you think their reaction will be overwhelming negative on your relationship with them, you may want to keep quiet.
