So I decided to put this in the relationships section because it deals with my parents...
Well, lately my mom and step-dad have been on a huge religious kick. It's nice for them and all. But when you hear his "god in our lives" stuff for about a year or so now for what seems like every day when I really don't have any sort of faith whatsoever (yeah...I've tried many things and I've tried to connect to my spiritual side...it does not work well...at all, my faith sort of died years ago. I mourned it then, I don't really care now) then it not only becomes annoying...but it drives me INSANE! Now, I've tried to be as tolerant as I possibly can, for as long as I can, and I try to continue this...really, I do...but at this point it's like the moment something even close to their books pops up or how enlightened they feel etc. it just fills me with such rage and disgust I leave the room by instinct. I feel like I just can't take it anymore! It feels like it's beyond the point with the typical "teenager annoyed at parents" thing.
I'm just at a loss for what to do. I could either:
1. not say anything, and keep on being angry, while their happy
or...
2. Put myself before them and tell them that they can't talk about their faith around me, they'd probably get upset.
Blah. 
We used to really be close until they discovered Joel Osteen
