family members who ask me if i go to church

[freedom-man]

I was visiting NYC and my family members ask me if i don't go to church. if i visit them next time i should i say this to them that i don't need to go to church? should i tell them the the history of Christianity and the how the church fathers made up christianity or just simply avoid them and don't spend a lot of time with them or avoid being alone with them?

just tell them politely that you don't go and you would not like to engage in conversations regarding your religion/faith..whatever.

best way to shut them up--do what i do: tell them your atheist, then tell themthere brainwashed. then tell them if you walk into a church you probably burst into flames.

My grandfather was an atheist and was attending a large family reunion in Georgia (he lived in Maine) at which there was a distant family member who was a minister.
The minister asked my grandfather what church he went to and got this reply:

&quot;Well, one day I was walking through the graveyard and saw a tombstone on which the epitaph read 'Here Lies So-and-So, killed when the meeting house (church) fell in on him'.....and I make it a point to stay out of dangerous places&quot;

My two cents is that it sounds like you don't see these family members too often, so probably it would be best to skirt the issue.
