Reply To: advice for dealing w/ christian dad as an athiest

You’re at an age where many parents start anxiously try to control everything about their children, including their faith. This is for a lot of reasons, some valid and some not. I don’t think you should join the choir or any other religious service unless it’s something you genuinely want to do. I also think sharing less of your internal thoughts with your dad is in order. Until he can respect your beliefs, he just gets less and less contact with you.
