Of course, YMMV.

I agree that it doesn't make you a hypocrite. My grandpa was a Methodist pastor, my aunt is a Methodist pastor, so I do have a pretty heavy religious influence in my family and I don't want to spend the once a year get together to revolve on my refusal to go to church for an hour and a half.

Its about respect for my family and not wanting to cause pointless drama. Not anything about religion itself.
