Its just religion is a big thing in the family

It seems you have your answer. In my experience, those who are brainwashed into hateful ideologies based on ancient mythologies are among the last to be either reasonable or accepting of others who they see as “different.” Maybe you’ll be lucky, but don’t count on the hate that is deeply instilled by religion to be overridden by something like the fact that you’re their child.
