I recently had to break up with my boyfriend because my parents are extreme Christians and do not allow me to date, regardless if I loved him or not. They already started ignoring me and not giving me any mroe support. I kept contact with my boyfriend anyway and they found out about it later. Now my parents are angry and disconnected with me. They don’t even want me to call them mom and dad anymore. They consistently talk about me leaving the house and how they don’t want me anymore. I’m 16, and depressed. My boyfriend was the only person that knew my mental problems and understood me.

Should I leave the house to give my parents relief from me?

Your parents are supposed to love you no matter what religion they are. Did you do something with your boyfriend that your parents disapproved of? If not, then there is no reason for your parents to do that. Have you tried talking to them about the situation and see how they feel? Sometimes, they may not be sure what to do because they could worry and don't want to see you end up being hurt

It is behavior like your parents that reinforces the conviction of atheists. They're supposed to be "good, Christian people", but they ostracize you if you exert any form of will independent of theirs. The Bible even says to KILL disobedient children:

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 King James Version (KJV)

18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

But I've got some fantastic news for you. They legally can't turn you out at 16 without paying to legally emancipate you. If they do, turn them in to the police. That is child endangerment and neglect.

If your terrible sperm and egg donors only love you as long as you obey them, then they never loved you to begin with. They love to be obeyed. Well, give them a taste of their own medicine; they have to obey the law, so bring in a real higher power. And if bad comes to absolute worst, they will take you out of that terrible house and help you find a new family.

I know it is hard, but stop being afraid of your parents, that is part of how they've been controlling you. Never allow anyone or anything to stifle your will to live happily; not family or friends.
