Tired of hiding

Well don't hide it. I hope you live in a relatively safe place like USA, EU, AusNZ where one can freely chose ones religion.

I'm a Christian. Go to church. Believe in God.

It was very confronting for me when my child said they did not believe in God. After I got over my initial sadness, I aid that obviously faith is their decision.

I asked him to be respectful of mine.

I also said that as part of a family sometimes you have to go along to events you don't like. So he comes to church with us about once a month. Maybe once every 2 months.

That's the way we dealt with it.
