Probably not they should accept you and help you

Ok, so here is the thing. Humans all have their own beliefs. They cannot tell you what or what not to do. That is none of their business. However, it is there job, as parents, to help their children see the right path. They are concerned for you, as you are doing the opposite of the religion they grew up with. All they truly want is to see you doing the right thing. In their eyes, the right thing is making you a straight, christian person.
BUT.
If you have already said clearly that you want to be queer, and want to be athiest, then THEY are wrong to tell you to stop doing what you feel most happy doing. That stupid priest may be straight, but if it's VERY CLEAR that you DON'T WANT do be a straight person, then he better stay the f**k away from your business. At this point, you have already chosen your path, and it's up to god to help you find your way. (Or, sense you are athiest, let me re-phrase that so you understand.) It's up to YOU to decide what you do in life. You may not believe in God, but that is okay. At the very least, believe in yourself. Trust yourself, but also trust your friends, to help you find the right path. Trust in love, trust in happiness, and if that means learning how to f**king punch your stupid parents in the face, do it.
...
Um, may want to hold back on the punch thing until you make it clear you don't wanna listen to them.
I can help you fight back and find happiness if you want, EVEN THOUGH I'm a fricking christian straight girl, I'm going to help you. You know why? Because in the end, everyone is a person deserving of respect and love, no matter what they've done. Espesically if they have asked for help (like you have)
Sorry that was very long.

Best thing for the bishop to do is guide the said person, but not go after them. I’m a Christian, but I have gay friends and I’m slowly guiding them to the right path. Also, don’t punch your parents. Honor your father and mother. If you’re living in their household and tell you to go, you should obey the,

Yes, I get it and I understand. I’m doing the exact same, but I’m a bit to aggressive with problem solving at times 😬
But yes, I agree with you and I’m doing the same thing.

Also, we shouldn’t always do what makes us happy as it tends to lead to lots of sin and unholy works. Also, it isn’t just up to God to save people. We also have to witness to people for God to work through them.

No it's not ok in my opinion, Jesus said to love and accept all, as well as to not be prideful in yourself, and it seems that's what those people are doing, they are attacking the sin of others without working on they're own in a way

Also I really don't like seeing and hearing about people forcing church and Christianity on others because it makes it seem bad, hurtful, and like a chore instead of peace, love, and happiness, yk?

To be perfectly honest, I really don’t care if you are Christian or Atheist. I’m a Christian, but humans all have their own beliefs. Your parents may be allowed to force you now, but just wait until your older. No one can tell you what to do then.

Your family shouldn't shun you for your beliefs, unless you have extreme beliefs that put yourself or others in danger. If I was your family member I would try to take time to listen to what you have to say, if you're able to talk about why you don't believe in God and identify with the LGBTQ+ group. I think understanding by listening does more good than forcing someone to accept your beliefs and attend a church they don't agree with. I assume you're a teen or young adult so you should have more say than my 4 or 7 year old. They kinda have to go to church with me because they can't stay home alone. But they are welcome to wait outside or in another room if they don't want to participate. If you have trouble talking to your family face to face maybe try writing a letter, be gentle in your approach and don't attack them. Maybe they will learn to also not attack you. I'm sorry you're going through this rough time.

As a Christian,the way they treated you isn’t the way they’re suppose to treat you (if you get my point)
In Galatians it says to ‘gently correct’

It's just not right for them to do that. I'm TWELVE YEARS OLD and a Christian and I understand that.
