You know, I lost my faith too. I gave up on Christianity. The process took years because, like you I was raised in the church. I was afraid of being a heathen or some such. It wasn't until this past January when I fianlly said, "Enough! I am not following this any more!" Since then I have been happier, more at peace, and a better person overall. And I think God, your family, and whoever would deem that more imporant than what religion you chose to follow. It is a hard choice (Like Jerry Seinfeld says, "It's not like changing brands of toothpaste.") but it is rewarding, or at least it has been for me. I am sure it will be for you too.
