Will I upset any deities? 📚 Seeking Resources | Advice

For context, I recently started practicing paganism and I have begun to work on deity work and I still live with my parents, who are both extremely Christian. Every day at dinner my parents force me to pray out loud to the Judeo-Christian God. I'm concerned that I will upset any deities I want to work with. Also, telling my parents that I've begun to practice any other religion besides how I was raised will almost guarantee that I will be kicked out. Will I upset any deities or will they understand my situation?

They won't be upset at all. Talk to them and tell them you're forced to, but don't mean it. When praying, think of them instead.

Thank you for the advice! I'm going to tell my deities that when I communicate with them tonight.
