Well thank you for your opinion, but I don't think that you are someone, who can tell whether I am normal or not. Being an atheist or an agnostic is something that I believe in, it's who I am. And you probably think that anyone with different beliefs is "abnormal" - that Buddhist or Muslims are "abnormal", because they believe in something different than you. And who said that you are normal? Where does it say that you are the definition of normal and everyone else is "abnormal". In that case you seem "abnormal" to me, but I respect everyone's choice. You're Christian - that's your choice, it's strange to me, because It's something that I find illogical, but you chose it, I would never say that you are "abnormal". Everyone is entitled to there own opinion and everyone can chose what to believe in, and who to be. Who are you to judge me. I have never read the Bible, but doesn't it teach to "Love thy neighbor"?
Don't mind the sensationalist idiots. For what it's worth, there are plenty of religious folk out there who don't advocate judging a person's worth based on their beliefs. Anyone can be good, regardless of their belief systems, and as we just saw, anyone can be an ignorant asshole regardless of their belief systems.
Hopefully your family would continue to support and love you even if you told them, but if you think they might react badly, I'd suggest you try and keep it to yourself until you're somewhat financially independent. Don't worry too much though.
IIN that I don't want to tell my family that I'm atheist/agnostic?
