You and your Mom have a lot in common since you both deny Jesus Christ as Lord and the Word of God the Bible. The Mormon church is a cult and it sucks having Mormon parents, I did. You can learn about it so you would have something intelligent to argue with her, and hopefully she will get educated enough to quit. There are so many unbelievable halarious and ridiculous things about Mormons, you could have fun with it.

Really, you are an atheist?
It is your parents job to raise you up right and teach you things that they think are important. Religion, to your parents, is obviously very important. They believe that families can be eternal, so it is logical for her to want you to attend church even if things are not going well between you.
They brought you into the world, have sheltered you, feed you, clothed you, etc, etc. She is taking you to church because she loves you and thinks that it will help you out in life.
Show a little bit of gratitude and sacrifice a couple of hours for your mom's piece of mind. If you still hate it when you are an adult, do whatever you want.

There's no specific law that I know of, but no one can force you to go to church.
I mean I go to church every week, and I participate in stuff of course because I do believe in a God, but sometimes places like that have other benefits. It's just good to be around community and to find friendships. But I see what you're struggling with.
My strategy with any problem is not to say "I hate this," and "I hate that," but rather to reason with the person. Don't get emotional; just tell her straight that you cannot be forced to believe something you don't believe. If you are rational and mature as possible, the greater chances you have of her seeing your side.

This is what sickens me. People who try to force their religion down someone else's throat. you mom needs to realize that if she keeps doing this, it will make you push it away. Which is probably why you are athiest now. I know, my grandpa did that to me, and I shy away from religion because it was forced on me, and I was tired of it. I have 2 kids now, and I would never force a religion on them, I will let them make up their own mind what is right for them. Just sit her down and tell her she should not be making you go to church if you don't want to, it will just turn you away in the long run. Good luck! :)

My son is 12, and I don't make him go to church because I don't want him to hate church. He's too young to completely understand what is going on anyway.
I have a friend who is 20, and he hates church because his parents forced him. He now refuses to go at all.
My parents did not make me go to church. I found God on my own. Sometimes I wish they would have taken me as a kid, but there is a reason for everything.
There is no law, but you should talk to your mom about it. I know you already have talked, but it is the only ammo you have.

well if you are atheist then she knows you don't believe inn GOD so there is no law for you to use unless you are like your mother and tell her that GOD is everywhere not just in church but I strongly advise to talk to your mother nicely and be nice to her and tell her that you love her and you don't want to go to church but the problem is you are an atheist it means you don't believe there is GOD which makes more pushy to make you go and get that GOD has created the universe. but age is what I'm looking for, you sounded like you are under the age of 18 because if you are above the age then i guess its all up to you isn't. just don't go to church and tell your mother that you are making me hate god by going there and she will stop. kapeeesh

Well...explain to her your beleifs...or why you have a lack thereof...and if she continues to ignore oyu, I'm afraid you may have to suck it up and go until you move out. Perhaps though, you could get her to go to a church that you can deal with, because I know that even though I go to church by choice every Sunday, I could not handle going to a Mormon or Catholic service...best of luck.

you need to find a way to open her eyes to the fact, that forcing you to attend church, is not doing any thing for you., now and never will Re mind her that the reason to go to church, is to worship, pray, and get saved.
and not to be a product of bitterness of being forced
