Going to church as an atheist?

I don't have any personal experience with this sort of thing, but I would suggest that maybe you could focus on the fact that church now for you is much mais about the people than the religious stuff. The people there are obviously important to you, so if you feel like you can't connect with them fully outside the church, you could try shifting your conceptualization of what the church is to you.

Alternatively, you could find a different activity that you can all get together and do. Something official and regular, but not necessarily connected to the church...? A movie night or something, I dunno, just something that removes it from the church setting that is making you uncomfortable.

If you only talk to them while youre in the church with them, then that may be the problem. If ou're in a church the topic will always be God.
Try inviting them to do other stuff somewhere else where the topic isn't god. Go shopping with them, cinema and stuff like that.
And you said that you meet them sometimes outside the church and it doesn't work, if that doesn't really work, I think the best way to solve this is por telling them that you can't believe in a god and ask them to accept you the way you are. Real friends / family wouldn't stop seeing you because of that. But be advised : Truth may hurt you...

GO TO CHURCH! Look the reason why God lets bad things happen is so he can make you stronger or pre pare you for something.Have you ever seen the movie heaven is for real? God let a 4 ano old die but then brought him back to life.That kid saw jesus if you dont belive him well, he saw his dead sister in heaven and his parents never told him about her so that proves he actually been to heaven and seen jesus

uh fuck no logic
