I have been raised Christian my whole life, I've never believed it. I am Wiccan, and when my mom found out she had an exorcism done on me... Yea.. I'd say shes a little upset..

No. My parents were mad @ me for becoming an active believer. Obviously something - to them - I did vindictively. Couldn't possibly be any *other* reason - to them. They weren't atheist, just simply didn't care. Until I believed.

They raised me Catholic, and after MUCH learning & internal debate, I concluded I did not believe (I was about 17). Of course they were disappointed, but not mad at all. They probably thought it was a phase (it wasn't - it's been 15 yrs ). ;)

My parents understood why I felt the way I did when I told them. My dad is now an atheist. My mom is mostly agnostic nowadays -- especially after realizing how incredibly hypocritical most of her church buddies actually were.

My mom thought it was just a phase since I was 13 when I told her. She has since become an agnostic and understands my PoV more. My dad doesn't agree but couldn't care less what I believe or don't believe.

My mother probably thinks there are 2 or 3 people like that somewhere in the country. She would lose it if somebody in her family said that they were.

I haven't told mine yet. I don't really see the point in it. I tested the waters by telling them about a "friend" that was an atheist. It did not go well at all, so I never approached the topic again. They would just worry about me anyway.

Anything other than Christian is an issue. My grandma (raised & adopted me) kept trying to convert me (I'm Wiccan) until the day she died.

My dad said "Oh, he's being a typical, shitty, rebellious teenager" and he continued to drag me to church. And then I refused to go after I got confirmed.

My dad was upset when I told him I was Pagan. I think he would have been worse if I'd said Atheist.

Most of my family, while not being atheists, don't care about religion. I don't think I've ever outright said "I'm an atheist" I think they just got the hint because I've made some strong statements against religion.

I was raised Buddhist but my parents never enforced it. As I grew older I became an atheist. Years later I find out that my dad doesn't believe in god either. I don't think my mom knows, but doubt she cares anyways. Religion was never a big topic.
