Lying about believing
My entire family is very Christian. A couple years ago I decided to start actually reading the bible as a way to get closer to god and it had the opposite effect I am no longer a believer. In fact I’ve slowly stopped believing in everything and I’ve been lying about it. Sometimes if my mom wants me to go to church I just agree so I can avoid the suspicion and the arguing. One day recently when we were leaving church I brought up some questions I had and my mom started panicking and crying, making my dad pull over the car so they could pray over me. After that reaction I’ve been terrified to be honest about not believing. I know that if my family knows they will look at me differently. At this point in my life it’s also kinda survival to just lie about it a bit, I’m a new adult and I’m definitely not financially stable enough to live on my own but I fear she would disown me or kick me out if I tell her. Idk I just need help navigating this.
