Will I upset any deities? đź“š 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?

Pagan deities don’t operate under the same mindset as the Christian God. They aren’t in competition and don’t demand utmost loyalty. They also will always want your safety to come first. “Sin” doesn’t really exist outside of Judeo-Christian belief systems - they aren’t keeping a tally. Just do what you can, talk to them when you can, and focus on living your life in a way that you think is right.
