This question/topic is for those who have a different religion or religious views from their parents or family.

Has your family ever showed interest in your views or shown any attempt to respect those views or celebrate important dates related to the religion?

I was raised Baptist (excluding my sister and I), my entire family is Baptist, my grandpa was a preacher, my uncle is a preacher, I started on my path with Paganism over 10 years ago. My sister was extremely receptive and kind to me when I told her, later on in life she asked more questions and then switched from agnostic to practicing paganism with me. My parents don't like to acknowledge our paths, they don't attempt to accommodate our views, or anything. Whenever religion comes up they talk about how sad and disappointed they are that we chose a different path. I have to tell them that I respect their views and I only ask the same... That just shuts down the conversation though. There's no progress and I can feel the strain it causes. I have so many reasons for my choice though and not all stem from a place of hurt, as my family (excluding sister) seem to think.

So, how are things on this front for you? Any better, the same, or worse? If you have any tips on how to speak to family about this, please give tips, it'll help me and maybe someone else on the thread struggling with the same issue.
