Yep, intimately, she is my wife.  Been married for 6 heavenly years.  Her family excepts me and excepts that i will never convert, i accept the same that she will always be a Muslim and will never convert.  Everybody is happy, and life is good.

No. According to Islam, a person has the right to choose his religion. He can switch to any religion he or she want.

Absolutely NO WAY! I could not do that because I am happy with my religion. I don't let people affect my decisions. I make my own. I hope you don't let this "someone" change your religion.

I was raised as a Christian, because my Dad is a Lutheran pastor.  I follow the Bible explicitly, but I do study other religions in order to better debate with people.

hey man I was wondering just an educated guess on my part but were your parents "SIBLINGS"??

No, people with different values and beliefs can get along.  My mom is a Baptist Republican and my dad is a Liberal Jew.  They get along great!  i think that opposites attract in many cases.  I tend to get along with everyone from all walks of life.

Depends on whether or not the parents are brother and sister.\n\n(I'm from TX.)

Ya, just the born agains.  The only religious conflict I've had with a family member is when my mother started rambling on about an atheist coworker who was not being a moral person.  She extended that to include all atheists, so that kinda pissed me off and she got an ear full about morality and not being able to generalize one group based on the actions of an individual.

I'm Jewish and there's nothing wrong with attending a funeral (despite what religion it maybe.) Part of being Jewish or of anything faith is showing compassion and support to your loved ones. The cousin was a loved member of your husband, show him the support he needs. Your not there to take practice in any religious rituals.

Sorry about the tension. That's a pain. I too have a relative that is very different than the rest of us but I have concluded that there was some sort of genetic mutation and leave it at that.

this question has brought out the degree of dogmatic pig headedness that if have come to expect here!!!!\n\nto answer your question, i once new a catholic priest who left the church to marry a buddhist lady. although he remained catholic, they respected each other and were secure enough in their beliefs to accept the differences. I don't thinkk that many who answeed this question are mature enough to manage this.

I, even as a christian, do not believe that you NEED to say I am a christian or any other religion to be close to God... actually I hate to admit that I am a christian because belonging to a group like that seems ungodly in and of itself, just because I do not want to put any group above God.  But I do kind of know what you mean because I feel very differently than either of my parents about religion, however, the one thing I have going for myself (and my parents ARE ministers) is that they accept, because that is what God taught.  They like it that I have come to my own understandings, they would never deny me on the free will that God gave.  I do not usually suggest arguing with parents (even though sometimes it is ever so much fun)... but I might suggest that you let your mother know that you are God's creation and not your mothers, although thank her for providing you with life and love along the way. (I know that brings it in to the realm of believing again, but at least you will be challenging her on her terms).  Also, if she brings up the bible in ways that are meant to say you should live like this and this, let her know that that is not your relationship with God, we are all different because God created us that way and you will not slap God in the face by living the way others do because God's plan for you is not the same as your mothers, and for the bible, make sure you let her know that while it is a wonderful teacher, you are not going to put an idol above God, that is idolatry and you have a relationship with God not a book.  Again, I know that is still not getting you out there saying you are a non-believer, but while you consider what it is that you do believe this may help take the heat off of thinking and looking at religion differently than your mother.  God created us each uniquely, your spirituality is not going to be the same as mine, or your mothers.  God gave free will to be used, so yeah for you for using it and thinking instead of following blindly without knowing your relationship with the God you may know.
