You may want to seriously look into developing even a minor bit of respect for things you disagree with.  Based on the amount I have read of what you wrote, it isn't going to be you lack of faith that will get you in trouble with your parents.  You will have problems with your parents, but not due to your lack of faith.  And that is about all I will say on that, because you apparently know everything and are fully qualified to tell people what is of value... particularly your parents.

I don't know everything, and people are free to believe and value whatever they want no matter how stupid it may be. I don't tell them what they should beleive, but I won't pretend that what they do beleive in has any value to me if I don't consider it so... Hmm maybe  I do come off a little too strong I guess.

Your opnion is noted.

Particularly the situation you are in now, if you come off wrong, you will have problems more from how you come off than what you don't believe.   Prudence is a virtue.

By the way, you may want to look into "neurotheology" which the book I told you about is on.  It is the scientific study into why people believe there is a G od, and the impact of how different beliefs shape the brain.  If you, for example, were raised in a very fundamentalist family, it could impact how you think and see things.  Also (my observation) you could end up dropping God but still be fundamentalist in your approach towards things.
