Irreligious people, what's it like having kids when your parents are religious?

I don’t think I can ever let my parents know I’m an atheist and with that seems to go my chance of having kids.

Which got me curious: can any irreligious people on here who have kids while having religious parents share what thats like?

Would love to hear your stories or thoughts on this in general.

Your relationship with yourself is screwed if you can’t come out as nonreligious to your parents.

This needs to stop, and if you can’t stop this lie you need to get a therapist.

I think I sort of get where youre coming from. But my relationship with my parents isnt the kind where it matters if they know Im irreligious. It also isnt important enough to me that I would want them to know.
