Some problems at home

Ok so it Sunday... But I've been having this problem for a long time. This blog contains a touchy subject: religion. I am in no way trying offend anyone or persuade anyone to believe or not believe in something. I apologize in advance if offend anyone as this can be a very taboo topic to talk about. I am a little bit atheist but for the most part I am agnostic. This simply means that I frankly do not care slash worry about religion. I think about there being a god or gods literally only when brought up in conversation. I literally neither believe nor disbelieve in God. I simply do not pay much mind to religion but will respects other's beliefs. Now here's where things get messy. My parent are 8/10 Christians. They want me to be Christian and they continuously my religious references when j told them multiple times that I'm not religious. In the past they have grounded me for not going into a church service. Eventually they gave up on making me go to the sermons because i kept refusing to sanctuary. I believe that it's more respectful to avoid the whole situation than to be placed in such a situation where I am knowingly disrespecting the beliefs of others. I am to the point where I do not see a reason for me to go to church. Just this morning, my dad came into my room saying "are you ready to go" which I responded with "I'm not going" and he replied with "yes you are" I countered again with "no I'm not" he immediately said "then this room better be clean when we get home" (I have a messy room) as he was walking back downstairs he called "but you're going next week". So basically he is forcing me to go to church. I personally have no idea why I HAVE to go to church. Do you think this is ok? Because I think it's not. So...

What do you do when your parents force you to go to church and you have different beliefs?

Religion is something that needs to be connected to you as in you need to be able to understand and feel it. As for me my mom is very religious but she dosent forced me. She teach and tell me all that I need to know and then its up to me. She give me time to find myself in it. Personally I think religion is not something that you can forced. Its something that you need to feel connected to in order to believe . It should be natural without any hard felt feelings or burden . Its just my opinion..I dont mean to offend any one and I respect all religions . Basically all religion teaches you to be good .
