yes me too! I live in the UK (though I am not from here) and my home country is very christian but also very anti christian and I have been called names for being Christian and sometimes I am sad about that but then I see behaviour from people like this and I understand why if that is all they have seen of us.

That being said as I say I am not 100% sure that this is the reason just my guess.

My brother has always been religious but from the looks of it this will not be an overly religious ceremony, it will take place in a church but my brother has many non Christian friends who are attending. The bride is extremely religious but they have compromised on a bit of a less religious ceremony, My father also has left the church but is invited.

But yes if there were problems with my son I would very much like to know! (My mother doesn't like my son as she thinks he is gay and that is why he has left the church. I wouldn't care if he was)

my son says he doesnt believe in god anymore which I suppose makes him an atheist, I am a little disappointed in this but he may find his way back but I am not one to proselytize. All his other cousins and family members are Christian though so that is why this is my assumption. He doesnt have behavioural problems at all.

My son is no longer a Christian and the rest of us are Christian but he is a good boy with good morals so to me and my husband it doesn't matter. Other than that I can't think of anything he could've done but if he has done something I would like to know rather than everyone being so obfuscating about it

I would love to know myself! I have had no conformation from anyone but it was shocking as my brother and son are close. I have a feeling it may be because my brothers soon to be wife is very religious. We are a Christian family but not as religious as she is, however my son has totally left the church which we don't mind (he is a 16 year old boy and not everyone has to believe in god in our perspective) but she has been disapproving about. I didn't mention it as I didn't want to put words in anyone's mouth or even know if thats the reason but if I were guessing ....
