Just because you have different beliefs than your parents doesn't mean you shouldn't respect them. Deal with going to church until you can leave the house. Don't be so disrespectful of your parents.

---

they don't respect mine. they don't respect me.
you get what you give.
i'm not making the first move, because they won't return the favor.

---

You have to understand they're your parents; they want you to follow their beliefs because it's how they're trying to raise you. Have you sat down and tried speaking to them about how you feel concerning your beliefs? Do they really see where you're coming from so that they can have a chance to accept your beliefs? Or did you just say "I'm Atheist! No church for me!"

I have actually sat them down and talked to them about it. they just refuse to listen to anything I say. they laugh and call me stupid. They crack jokes.  They make fun of me. I listen while they explain that "all you have to do to accept catholicism is...", but they won't listen to anything I have to say.

and, I'm not a stereotypical, sniffy, bandwagon athiest. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't try to bag me as one, please.

Stupid term. Atheism is the default; it shouldn't be the one to need justification. I'm tired of atheists judging each other and acting like it's an exclusive club.

Don't assume I was "bagging you as one" I just was getting more information on the situation. I was looking at from a parent's perspective rather than anything else. I am sure you know about your beliefs since you have them, but parents don't always understand that. So, please, don't assume I was trying to be a bitch...I was just simply asking.

If they aren't wanting to accept that, then that's their choice. You don't have to accept their religion...however, just going to their church will cause you less problems in the long run. If you keep resisting, there will be more problems with them. Even though I totally support standing up for yourself and your beliefs, parents are hard to break of that. They just don't want to hear anything else unless it's them speaking at times. In that case, you don't have to belief in Catholicism to just go to church so you don't get ear beatings every Sunday...it'll save drama. You can simply smile in your head and think to yourself how stupid they are for believing such things and know deep down you know what's right for you.

One day, even if it is four years from now, you'll be free to do as you please with your beliefs. For now, just listening to them will save you any harsh drama that isn't needed. That's all I'm saying
