Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I'm an atheist living in a deeply religious country. Half my family is catholic and half is evangelical christian. And of course they have weddings, baptisms, christmas, funerals, etc. But I just can't bring myself to go to these events anymore. It's draining and makes me feel uncomfortable to basically support their beliefs that have caused so much harm to people around the world. The state of organized religion is so dire and I feel they have too much power in my region, messing with the government and working overtime to limit civil liberties of women, minorities and LGBT people. In the past I have attended these events, but it has grown more and more difficult to do it. 

To give you an example, at my sister's wedding the pastor spent half the sermon (or whatever it's called) raging against same-sex marriage. And I'm gay. And this happens in almost every of these events: I don't know how they do it but they are able to bring it up. I'm also pro-choice; and of course they are not. Thousands of women have been forced to carry their child after being raped because of the religious influence in the government and the strict abortion laws that we have. That's without mentioning the circle of pedophilia, the belief that I'm a complete sinner and the overall atmosphere of oppression I feel. 

Of course I'd like to be there for special family gatherings. And I will go to the dinner, party or whatever after it (and usually they are alcohol-free since evangelical christians don't believe in drinking (or dancing!). So, am I the asshole? I'm conflicted. 

Tl,dr: I'm a (gay) atheist in the middle of a huge religious family and attending their religious events has  become too uncomfortable; so I have told them I won't attend anymore.
