Rubyee, I wouldn't blame in entirely on the religion. Unless the religion has something to say about attending events for family, then religion should not be used as an excuse for not attending graduation. I don't know of any parent that would set aside all of these important things because someone isn't dating someone they like.
You are FAMILY. YOU should come first, not some wacky religion, or who you're dating. This just shows where your parents priorities are, and I'm sorry because that has to feel like shit. I don't think talking to them is going to help either, because religion is far more important (read the sarcasm).
Don't worry, they'll figure it out soon. And hopefully you'll be the better person and still welcome them as family when that happens and not write them out of your life because of this.
