That could be said from both sides of the coin.
I'm an Atheist (a non-asshole), while most (80-90%) of my friends are Theists (Christian/Islam). My whole close-family is Christian. I still love all of them. They still love me.
The difference is, I can't attend a family get-together at my Church because I don't believe what they do (Priest's words).
I research all religions (although Christianity is my most knowledgable one, due to me being raised Roman Catholic) simply because they interest me greatly. I always find the stories to be awesome, regardless of their logical fallacies.
I'm constantly attacked by Theists, simply because I don't agree with them. But, I'm the bigger man, and I don't say a word. It's not worth it.

So you can't attend a family gathering because it is In a church and you don't agree with what the priests says? You can't attend and just not agree with what he says? That about as stupid as the people that say because the dollar says in God we trust on it is offensive and want it changed

Then they FAIL hard at their job/calling. No offense, but most people I see that claim to have turned athiest from theist families more often than not were raised Catholic. I am beginning to see more and more why.

Well, I didn't become an Atheist because of the rude adults or the hypocrisy; I didn't do it to rebel or because the doctrine was too strict. I was- and still am- better than that. I became an Atheist because after all the school years of reading the Bible instead of a Science textbook; after all the occasions where I questioned blatantly obvious contradictions with proven facts; I was still left with questions that required more than "We don't know. But God does." They were answered by Science. And in turn, I had begun to realize that most- if not, all- the events in the Bible were falsified. The burden of proof relies on religion. "You came up with idea (Religion). [i]You[/i] tell me why you believe it." Most of the time, they don't know. I saw an interesting picture that went something like this: Religion is like Internet explorer. You're either: You are too scared to change it You don't know how to change it It was there when you started Just something to think about, I suppose.
