If religion is by compulsion then that one is hypocrisy. If you're old enough, then you can make your choice

Believe that God exist, work hard, help as much as you can, respect people and honour your parent. Those are what true religion is all about.

My mum is an elder in the church, my father is a strong believer and I'm an unbeliever. Due to the open relationship that I have with my father, i had to come clean so as to let him know that I'm no more a believer. He was shocked at first but when i explained reasons why I'm no more following their religious beliefs, he was satisfied and said that I should choose my way. My mum doesn't know yet.

My Dad called me this evening to tell me the essence of praying. The thing is that I don't believe praying solves anything Atleast to me. the day I stopped believing and started working more on myself, I found out that things started getting better for me than those who goes to the Church and Mosques.

When I think about a lot of things I have read and what I have experienced I feel like I have always been deceived all my life.

The Pastors and Prophets with their fake miracles or the Boko Haram and their suicide with the reasons of going to heaven to get virgins.

I currently live with them though I plan on moving to my own place by the end of this year or early next year.

I really want to tell them in a polite way so they can accept my way.

My Dad won't accept this, as he believes that it is God or nothing.

the birth of an Atheist.
Just like your dad said, ITS GOD OR NOTHING!!
HE HAS SEEN LIFE. HE KNOWS NO ONE CAN DO WITHOUT GOD.
EVER WONDERED WHY PEOPLE AT OLD AGE RUN TO GOD?
HOW MANY OLDER PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE ATHEISTS?
HAVE YOU PONDERED OVER THIS?

WHEN LIFE HITS YOU SO HARD, THEN YOU WILL REALISE THAT ITS GOD OR NOTHING.

The funny thing is, there is actually no middle ground spiritually. You'll realize later in life that your middle ground was actually satan. I made a decision early in life, that it's either I serve my Lord Jesus or death.

Leaving your religion is cool if you found it lacking but not believing God exist is a red flag. Pray for God to direct your steps. Sincerely I know your pain about prayers...you are expecting instant response while you are not getting it. God answers your genuine prayers when you mostly need them.

@op indadi. Welcome to reality... It only takes one with a bold mind to take such bold decision.... I was once like you... But I will share you with few life skills... Because, religion is embedded in our society.

A. You have to create a purpose for yourself to fill into those your over religion era. Truly one of the purpose of religion is to create purpose and meanings to this meaningless life. If the meaning becomes obscure, you create one for yourself...

B. Not being religious doesn't mean you have to become bad and lost your humanity in you. You have just over grown doing good thing for religion/heavenly rewards, instead, you do then for doing sake, out of good will regardless.

C. You need to recreate yourself, listen to podcasts, topic you seem interested, read book, you can even start exploring other religions book/bible, listen to the christian sermon. There are good lessons and life principles you can pick up from them all discarding the unirrelevant ones.

D. No doubt, you will always found yourself among the religious one, learn to get along with then, you don't necessarily need agree with then, Afterall everyone has a belief of disbelief in something.. Just stick to what you belief in. As for your parents, play along till they get the drift.

E. Learn to know that your destiny is in your hand. Do what you can do within your capacity/hand and do not leave everything to changes just like majority of xtains, they pray, pray more than they work.. and abandon major life principles...

F. Regardless of what you are, who you are, life can be hard, and funny enough, it doesn't give sh!t about anyone. People stick to religion because it simple make then feel good during trying times... You might as well have overgrown solidarity in the concept of God/religion but attimes, we need to keep our imagination higher. Find what give you that high fantasy. One of mine is casting crown songs and other good lyrics, I watch how superman save the world, I day dream even though I don't believe but it makes me feel better.

G. Lastly, don't waist all your youthful time, trying to make a point to people especially people of different faith, keep your faith to yourself, and let your actions do the talking. everyone can't agree with you. Just like most xtains don't associates with unbelivers, just like other religions doesn't associates with other. Move with those that accept you and leave those who doesn't just like King Solomon in the bible.

Religion put you in cage, you have to liberate yourself from man-made concept

You only need to understand what religion really is and what it is not. For instance, you have taken Islam as nothing else other than the ideology and operations of Boko Haraam and other terrorist organizations. This is far from it. As a matter of fact, Muslims do not agree with such actions as those exhibited by such terrorists. Holding on to pristine Islaam gives you the peace of mind everyone seeks. Study Islamic religion and you'll appreciate this.

Just learn to pretend, when you have financial freedom they will cooperate. My late mum became less assertive after I became financially independent.
