I think it's a duplicate, but a "better fit" duplicate would be How do I tell my mom that I am not Christian?.

(I hope we only do this if the previous question has a relevant answer! Closing a question and pointing to irrelevant previous answers is not a great experience). And should we then edit the oroginal question to make it more ...
