There is nothing to do. Belief is not something one can force on anyone. Don't make a big deal out of it. Your family will be disappointed but they will need to get over it.
The mark of devout Christians is that they will never stop loving you no matter what.

Take a look at current events. Look at how evil and twisted the world really has become. Society is sickening. If there can be this much evil, there has to be Divine Good. One reason for this evil, GOD has been kicked out of every establishment there is. People want to be PC in the workplace, schools, government, etc. If you notice, the only thing we are being PC about is GOD, the one true GOD, the master of all. Notice that all fake religions are OK to speak about, you don't hear of any other Deities being kicked out of homes, schools, workplace, etc. All of a sudden, it is only GOD the father that is the one thing that people get offended about. Why do you think that is? I hate to use movies as references, but take a look at some of the Exorcist movies. The first one was based on a true story about an event that took place in St. Louis, MO. The exorcism of Emily Rose was also based on true events that happened to that young lady. If there can be true evil, there has to be Divine good. As far as the man quoting Lennon, take a look at the movie Frailty with Bill Paxton and Matthew Mcoughehey (Sp?). There are actual messengers such as this. Also, in the book of Revelation, the song that was quoted by Lennon could also be looked at as the world after the Anti-Christ takes over. It is and will be the most peaceful time the Earth has ever seen, but built on all lies and deception. I agree with the lady that said, get with someone you trust, a pastor, a friend, an adult in the church you are involved with.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Do Lots & Lots of research. Casually mention a few things you've learned. Slowly, slowly. Baby steps.
Just bring up a few things now & again and let the reality slowly seep in. But take it slowly and respectfully.
If more people actually did some research, there would be more Deists or Atheists. And your family probably has never ventured past their biblical teachings. But, maybe they have doubts themselves. Won't know till you start asking questions.

What you believe is your business not theirs. If you are living under their roof I would watch my words. I was thrown out of the house at age 17 for the exact same reason. But I had a pretty big mouth. Best of luck.

you need to talk yo someone you feel at ease talking to that you can explain how you feel and can answer the questions you have without judging you and can get a understanding how and why you feel that way, and that person should be god fearing, not share what you talk about with anyone, can be your pastor ,a friend, a stranger someone who is willing to help you.

I don't know how old you are but you probably need some breathing room. Right now you probably don't know for sure what you believe.
Remember if you have a need call on God. Remember the prayer, "Help my unbelief."

Follow your heart. What DO you believe or not believe? What will make you happy?

I suppose you have to ask yourself WHY do you not believe in God. I mean, do you doubt His existence or what?
