Obey and honor your parents. When you turn 18 and move out of the house do whatever you want. Right now you are still legally a child.
PS- if you make female friends just to "make out" with them, perhaps you should start listening in church a bit more.

Just live with it and obey their wishes until you are 18 and out of the home. You only got 3 yrs. After all your parents have done for you, this causes no conflict.
It may feel good initially to stand up for your beliefs and refuse your parents wishes to go to church or whatever, but which is more important? You relationship with your parents on the long term, or faking and just going along with it for a while?
Chances are that when you are out of the home, that subject could just be asked about, but does not have to be obeyed. Meaning your parents will be much less critical of you and your personal actions. So just put up with it to avoid arguments and stress on everyone.

18 years will come soon enough and you will be away from the family home.
Atheist (without theist) is a belief that is as blind as theism. You have heard the revelation and do not believe it.
There is a saying "Do as in Rome as the Romans".
There is a principle that states that we should honor (not blindly obey) our parents.
As for the religion, you will need to know it, completely. You will need it later in life (trust me I know). You will follow your parents rules, faith, etc. until you move out.
Honor your parents does not mean they control who you like and what you do with them. At 15 this may be limited, but 18 will come soon enough.
Yes you are an atheist, but you are also their son.

At 15 you talk to your dad about it, you complain about it, and you stop short of truly hurting them or causing them a lot of embarrassment. If you are speaking your mind be aware that you will need to be even more upright and respectable than if you had religion.
The problem with atheism is that it leaves you totally responsible for how you and your world are (yes chance has a role to play, you must count that in your plans) but there is the tremendous resonsibilty that freedom carries as it's price.
At 15 the girls are just starting. They will soon be everywhere.

Just given your tenth what? Cant make out with fast with em? What does that mean. You don't sound to me like you have enough sense to be an Atheist. You better stick to your Mommy's religion.

Dun move out of da house jus like wad these dumb people are saying...this is why the american society has no family bonding or true love in it...
Be with your family, say YES for their sake, i mean if u r strong at heart, rituals are jus a game for you rite? So wads wrong in goin church even if u dun believe in it? Im not christian, i go to church...
Believes is about ur mind...u dun have to show it...many people are actors in this world...who claim to be pure humans because of a particular religion...when truly they are not...you must MAKE people happy...then you will be HAPPY...take ur parents word...jus be with them...blend with your society...be one of the actors...but in heart you can choose to be whatever you wanna be...best is believe in God, but dun believe in any religion...follow your conscience...

Go outside, to your backyard after Midnight on a clear night and stare up to the sky. Look around you, fathom life and ask yourself if this could all be without a cause. It is too perfect to have been formed out of error or chance. This life is too full of evil/good to not have spirits, you will see things in your life that you can't explain in a few years, if you seeked after god and asked him to show you his proof, you would see things that you've never seen, experiences that dont make sense, and a connection to a God.
It's a phase I went through, i use to question god, but then he showed me things, and i have scary testimony that have no explanations other than by God.
Just take your time in figuring this one out, it's the biggest question of your life.

I believe that people should have the right to choose in what they believe, no matter how young or old you are.
I also believe however that you should be respecful of what they believe.
If you are an atheist that is your belief, tolerance of your parents and brothers' beliefs shows character.

Wait till you are 21 years old then you can do whatever you want. While you are still dependent on your parents you have no alternative but to obey them. You have no choice but to follow where your parents want you to go. Surely, they will go to safe places.
