Don't Tell Your Mom You're an Atheist

Because of the accents, this family sounds like they're from the midwest, which only adds to the charm. Upon further viewings everyone in this family is lovable. Michael is adorable in his reasoning and comeback. Mom is adorable in her passion and solutions. Whoever the kid is recording it is a classic, but why does (s)he turn off the cam right when Ma is about to layeth the smack downeth?

And God bless the chubby hubby with his beverage letting his wife do all the dirty work.

Nice "coming out" video. He seems to be ok with no christmas. love it. God forbid he's gay or wants to be an art major.

This video is at least 4 months old and it has nothing to do with LA.

I don't care how old this clip is - it's HILARIOUS! And, I think, in this day and age the issue of religion has to do with everyone everywhere. Religious Fundamentalism is this world's biggest problem and anything that shows the stupid intolerance of people who choose to believe in some dude up in the sky because they don't understand science should be publicly ridiculed on a daily basis.

He had to hide the camera because mom came out from behind the counter where she could see him..and then HE would be getting nothing for Xmas either.

I'm a fucking aetheist, tell that bitch to shut up.

hey Joe, if you wanna say something, why don't you sign in. kthnx

I grew up in a pretty religious family. I'm not religious anymore, and I don't judge anyone for being an atheist (or a Christian, or any other religion for that matter). The thing is, from this kid's parents' point of view, he's going to hell is he doesn't believe in God. If you truly believe that, it's pretty scary and upsetting. No wonder the parents are freaked out.

I'm no bible beater, but I just wanted to put this in perspective before y'all assume these parents are evil.

That said, my mom probably would yell at me - I'm pretty sure she'd just cry hysterically instead. I don't see any reason my parents should sit around fearing for my eternal soul so I just don't talk about religion with them. I certainly wouldn't film it and put it online.

Speaking of hilarious, did that guy call me a bitch? That's fucking awesome!
