I am sorry, Ashley, but it sounds like you are very much judgmental. That’s why you are having such hard time with this. Religion alone does not make relationships happen, people do. Forget about religion and focus on relationships with people instead. Yes, of course, some people find connection through religion but the rest do so through many other things that matter to them. In your case, you and your boyfriend’s parents already share something in common, your boyfriend. So, you could share with them your stories about him and ask them to share theirs. Better yet, you could ask your boyfriend about his parents and their interests outside of religion. So, if his mother, for example, likes to garden and grow certain flowers you could look into that topic and buy her a gift of flower seeds. I am sure you get the idea. People are not just their religion, the car they drive or the clothes they wear. People are multidimensional beings with many interests, fears, desires. The only way to connect with them is to let go of your prejudice, keep an open mind and show a sincere interest in things and people they care about. And if they do not seem to like you, it’s not a big deal. The most important thing is that you like yourself and the person you are striving to be.

Sorry – that should have read ‘I agree with ALEXEY!!!
