Today, I had the experience of talking to my GF's family. They had a few major concerns about me. One, that we were sleeping together before marriage, and 2, that I'm an atheist.
The first one didn't make them seethe as the second one. I can't speak more about it right now. I'm seething and angry at this thing called Christianity.
CRR,
How serious are you with this girl? Does it really matter if her parents are idiots at this point?

You are sleeping with her and not stricken down or turned into a pillar of salt? That should prove to them there is no god.
Hang in there bud,
I'm finally calm enough to explain the situation. Here goes. My girlfriend and I went over to my mom's house to have my mom's blessing (Which seemed like a good idea at the time). Turns out, it was the catalyst to a disaster.
To make a long story short, my mom talked to her mom, which I later found out was a Pentecostal. She wasn't too thrilled about me being atheist and me doing her daughter. Neither was her brother. In fact, he wrote my girlfriend a letter about me being an atheist and not having the supposed "Morals of a Christian".
Pretty much, both my mom and her mom cursed us for leaving the beliefs that they both brought us up with.
I'll talk more about it later. I gotta get to therapy and talk about this same subject with my therapist.
