i dont like organized religion, i dont feel like going somewhere where im told what to believe in or what to do(though that may not be the case with other places). however, im not willing to write off the possibility of a higher being either. truth is, i really dont care anymore. i just dont live with religion in my life anymore (though i find its history fascinating). i dont go to church and dont pray( my family does say a "grace" before dinner, mainly because my mom is really religious). i have called myself agnostic but im not sure its that anymore.
But i make it a point to respect other people's religion. im not going to tell people they're stupid for believing in a religion, nor am i gonna corner a religious person and tell how wrong they are or make fun of them for believing and having a faith. that is stupid and ignorant and it disgusts me to see people like that. i just let them believe in what they want to believe in. if they're happy in their beliefs, than im glad for them(however, im not above taking a few stabs at religion jokingly).
anywho your parents sound pretty grounded. if you tell them you'll no doubt get backlash, but i dont think they'll kick you out. if you really think they will, make sure you have a place to stay just in case like a friends house. also make sure you can afford to get out and on your own.
my dad isnt very religious and knows im not(he hasnt said anything but im sure he knows). he's cool with it. My mom is really religious(comes with an illness she got a few years back) and im sure has taken notice of me not wanting to go to church or my lack of interest in faith. i can tell it bugs her alot. my brother just went to college and before he went my mom would always ask if he would say grace before he ate dinner. im not going to out right tell her i dont care for religion, but im sure she knows.
