Dealing w/ Parents

So I have a few problems dealing with my parents. Everyone does. And parents have problems dealing with thier kids. This is normal. But I am stuck on how I should handle things with my parents. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My parents are Catholic and I haven't been attending church since I don't agree with everything the church says. I know they don't like this. I am also living with my boyfriend and they don't like this either. Currently I am taking some time off of college and working full time. You guessed right, they don't like that either. I am working on getting back into classes at least part-time by next semester but since it isn't now, they aren't too happy at all either way. I am in the process of purchasing the car I drive from my parents. they said they would eventually give it to me, but once I moved in with my boyfriend and took time off school they changed their minds. We have a monthly payment plan set up and so far until this month I have been on time. when I called and asked for a bit more time (until this weekend) my mom said sure since she knows I am tight on money. Later that night or the next morning she was going off to my sister about how I am "breaking the deal" and everything. But she didn't say anything to me. Also my mother has a check that I wrote back in July for that payment she has never cashed. For the longest time that was causing confusion for me with my bank statements. then i finally figured that out and asked her to cash it. she asked me at three different times in as many weeks if she could cash it and if I had the money. I did and told her to. As of Tuesday she still hadn't. Well the time came when I had used that money last week thinking she had already cashed her check. So i asked her to hold it until this weekend and cash it with the other so I am sure the money is there. This was at the same time I asked if I could send the one payment a little late. She said yes. And also complained about this to my sister. So the next day my sister was telling me about my mom complaining and about how my sister had stood up for me. Also currently my parents are arguing about a few family things so I know that they are both on edge and stressed. Just a few moments ago I checked my voicemail and had a message from my mom from this morning. She wants to "talk" on the phone when I get off work. I a bit apprehensive about this considering everything my sister has told me. I don't know exactly what she wants to talk about but almost every time I talk to her she has to say something about what I am doing wrong with my life and I don't call her as much as I used to. So when I talk to her after work I don't know what I am going to do. any advice would be great!
