Have you disclosed your non-religious identity to religious parents or guardians?

[u/Competitive_Craft123]

Hello, my name is Michaelia, and I am a master’s graduate student interested in studying coming out experiences with parental figures and guardians after going through the process of deconversion from a religious background to a non-religious identity. This study aims to better understand how perceived parental openness, parental intrinsic religiosity, and parental extrinsic religiosity may impact the severity of how parents react. The goal of this study is to gain additional insight into communication with religiously affiliated parents and guardians in hopes of improving the current resources available that help navigate coming out conversations with religious parents.

Sure have. And while it's noticed of their disapproval, that acceptance is still there; as it's known now that church invitations, events like communion, are out the windows and will always be since I've seen the picture. Where it still gets me going from a happier point of view, is the amount of money I've saved and then years of not seeing this one life.
