If you in a christian family and are an atheist what do you do?And what if you are in a atheist family and are a christian what do you do?Just curious.I am just wondering about this because it sort of came out of the blue when i was thinking about christianity and atheism.I didn't know were to post this.So i posted it here.Sorry if i posted it in the wrong forum.
I can't comment on what my near family is, as im not 100% sure as we never talk about it, I think the majority are atheists and maybe a few of them are open for there being something more. I wouldn't call it Christianity, because I know for a fact that none of them have ever read or most likely even opened the bible, so if they do believe in it, its most likely just based on what they have heard from churches and common knowledge. However I occasionally share my view on God and the bible with them and in cases we disagree, it offend end in a heated debate
Which is not uncommon especially with my dad as we pretty much have difference views on everything, where you can have an opinion, same goes with my mother, which shares mainly my views and completely disagree with my dad's as well. But we get along fine and have always done and enjoy debating/discussing with them as I think its important to share views regardless of what they are, its the only way to move people and get to know them, even if they are your parents.
I think a lot of people are to scared to share their views and defend them today, but also in general people are very bad at discussing things. Not talking written form, which is slightly better than if you talk with them in person. But at least in my experience, when people talk, they rarely listen to each other and its far easier for people to get defensive and upset, because its not uncommon that people will interrupt each other etc.
Anyway in general I think one should share ones opinions, if they are important to you and also be willing to defend them if needed.
