How old are you?

Well, if you do anything, I wouldn't tell him in front of other people. If he chooses to tell his friends, that's his decision to put himself in that position, whether it embarrasses him or not. As for telling him at all, I think you might consider not telling him unless/until you live apart from him. For now, you're under his roof, and you might not want to bring this upon him until you're a little more separated. But I think if you love and respect him, you should ultimately tell him, because it is who you are. Maybe you could really ruminate about your faith before hand, and about what it means to you to follow the religion, and if you're going to continue and why/why not. It will help your conversation with him more, the better you understand what it is you're telling him. Good luck.

I would advise you to maintain status quo. That way all are happy. You are entitled to your own beliefs. But why hurt your dad's feelings when you are comfortable following the family rituals and customs? It is not the question of embarrassing him but hurting his feelings. In today's world it is rare for children to continue stayig with their parents longer than necessary. So you too will be moving away and will be limiting your visits to your parents to once or twice a year. So live as you prefer when you are away and confirm to the family customs when you are home for brief periods. This way you will keep everyone happy and satisfied.

I wouldnt, unless he asked me directly, or the subject comes up at a time to really tslk about it. Not just in passing in a conversation. Your feelings may change as you get older too. Why make hard feelings now?

So, instead it's better to go thru life being a hypocrite and liar. Cool! But that's fitting cause that's what religion is all about anyway, hypocrisy and lies

Do not tell him. It will hurt him unnecessarily. Your father would most likely give his life for you. Can you not give this small portion for him?
