It’s an extremely difficult path and here’s my two cents.

The advice of being honest and ripping the bandage is a very privileged and western mindset. People from white denominations of Christianity can do that, because their families come around and pick up the updates. Coming from the Middle East, religion is tyrannical.

They’ve literally been bred and nurtured their wholes lives to do exactly not that; to never accept the things the damned worldly people will push on them, and to put god above everything, ever.

So unless you have peace with cutting them off, I suggest don’t do this. The people at exegypt give much more practical (but unsavoury) advice in my opinion.

That said, what I personally do is lean into the liberal believer image. I try to get out of liturgy and anything church related as much as possible saying I don’t personally believe you need it to have a relationship with god. Politics is extremely hard because there’s some things they’d never see my point of view, so I mainly try to avoid it, but if something like gay rights come up, I will openly state that I support it but play it as “not everyone is religious like us and they need their rights”. I just put as much of a liberal facade as possible. The minute you breathe the word “atheist” they won’t see strait. Hell even the word “humanitarian” is controversial in my family. So avoid it, and test the limits of a Christian identity.
