I posted a question this morning asking if I should share my beliefs as an atheist with my Catholic mother and received many responses that seemed to insinuate that since I am young (20 years old), I may be going through a 'phase' or that I may 'find my way back'. I don't think these answered were meant to be condescending, as I know that the answerer's replies were with good intentions. It simply gave me the impression that since I am young, my beliefs are not always taken seriously.
I may be young but I am not a child and I am perfectly capable of making rational decisions. I bought my first house at 19 and have held a steady career in a high position since the age of 18. I admit I am a little insulted when I am not taken seriously because of my age.
