As far as I know, all of my relatives are religious. However, I don't know the full extent of some or if there are any relatives that are non-christian. I'm not at all close with my family so, it would make me very uncomfortable to move in with people I barely know.
I would like to laugh it off but I fear the type of reactions I would get. I've tried putting scientific possibilities on the table to very little success.
By 'laugh it off' I meant not to take her seriously. The good thing is that you can recognize that your mother isn't all there mentally. Otherwise you'd be as brainwashed as she is, waiting to get raptured.
Unfortunately this is the evil that religions wrought-Islam is 10 times worse than Christianity, so you're lucky she isn't a muslim. They actually kill their kids who go atheist or convert to another religion.
Well you can also try gently reasoning with her and questioning the validity of her beliefs. I think that was the biggest thing that helped me with my parents.
They knew I was atheist and could do nothing about it. Plus they had no good counter-arguments and didn't want to debate me so they left me alone to do whatever I wanted, so long as I wasn't getting in trouble.
In the meantime you should consider an exit plan to get away from your mother. If you can't live with your relatives consider getting a stable job and moving on your own or with friends. You'll become better friends with her after you leave.
Paranoia due to religion, IIN?
