I am the son of a conservative pastor. I'm also losing, or have lost my faith. Why? Well that's the simple part. So what do I do about it? I live my life. If my religous friends choose to judge me, then they do. I have little or no control over what they think or feel. They are more than welcome to their opinions. I've spoken to my father at length about my feelings on religion (it can be helpful to some, but it doesn't make sense for me), and he accepts my beliefs.
It's up to you how to deal with those who do not so readily accept your way of living. Just as people deal with racism, sexism, and other bigotry, you may have to deal with theological or philosophical prejuduce. That, as they say, is a part of life.
I eat, exercise, spend time with my family, read, meditate (one can be spiritual without going to church after all), and such on Sundays.
