    dad said that all my ancestors were Christians and I’m stopping that tradition

    Well, your dad’s wrong. Most of your ancestors worshiped some other god or not at all. Christianity is just 2000 years young.

      I said that to him but he doesn’t care because ancestors that lived closer to current time are more important to him.

        Who said your ancestors actually practiced Christianity? It’s only hearsay, he didn’t talk with his ancestors, they might have been atheist and just kept up appearances for all others. If he just believes whatever he’s told, he’s just a sheep following the wolf. Good on you for thinking for yourself. It’s the start of a beautiful fulfilling life.

        I have nothing against practicing your own religion, you do you, but it should never be forced onto others. That’s brainwashing.

      Not much of a tradition. The Christianity you might hear from your local minister is very different from the Christianity of the same church, fifty years earlier.

      Religious doctrine is molded with the culture of the time, and recently has been influenced by propaganda efforts.
