I have to agree. Unfortunately, if you live in a Christian household, but don't believe in it yourself, you're put in quite the pickle. Regrettably, you have to tag along until you move out when you come of age. So, again, you may have to just grin and bear it, so to speak...Religion is one of those things that people feel intensely opinionated about. Especially if it's a parent trying to get their child involved with their religion...Actually, if I may ask, when did you start not believing in God? Or did you never take in Christianity from the start? If it was when you started confirmations, maybe you just don't want to be confirmed?

I think this is where you need to take into account your parents feelings a little when you talk to them about it. Yes, you have every right to believe whatever you want to believe, but as hippie34 says, u're gonna have to try and do it in an "adult" manner... whatever that is, cos adults are as bad as kids most of the time anyways razz
No, you don't have to "grin and bare" it all. And no they shouldn't really try and force you to believe what they believe, but they are parents, they all do it razz
Maybe if your parents aren't being receptive together, approach the one of them by themselves. However, as meleny7 said, there is a chance they will try harder to "make" you believe.
Or, you can just grin and bare it till you are able to move out and live your life how you want to. It's up to you really, but you're gonna have to try and get them to understand at some point pirate
...or something like that biggrin just my two pence sweatdrop

I'm living with false hope
And my eyes just want to see a ray of light
I'm gonna find it in my fairy tale...
If Catholicism is really bad for you, but your parents are against you having no religion, they might still be open to you having another religion. It depends on how dogmatic they are in theirs.
I'm somewhat of an atheist/agnostic, and my mom's Christian. She's pretty open-minded, but she thinks it's not so good to have no kind of spirituality in my life. However, that doesn't mean she makes me go to Christian church. Instead, I sometimes go with my friend who's a Buddhist to her religious services. I like Buddhism quite a bit, at least more than I like the preacher at my mom's church (they recently switched preachers, and I actually used to go with her at times like Easter and Christmas Eve, but I can't take this new guy).
So maybe if you find another religious place to go, your parents might be okay with that more than they are with you having no religion.
If they're the type of religious people who are really convinced that you'll go to hell if you're not right next to them in church... I'm sorry, I don't know what to say.
