How do i tell my close-minded parents that i dont share the same religious beliefs as them and i want to leave our church?

That’s a tough conversation, especially with close-minded parents. The way you approach it depends on how safe you feel with them and how they typically react to disagreements. Some things you can try are: Feel for a reaction (ask a question like, "What do you think about people questioning their faith?") Be clear but gentle Expect a reaction (especially emotional ones) Have an exit strategy (this can be leaving the room or talking to a friend if your parents react badly) How do you think they will react? Do you feel safe telling them?
