[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL and FIL are openly atheist, and have tendencies to be outspoken and rude/hurtful to other family members who are Christian -although they have not voiced opinions in regards to my husbands and my religious choices. They disagree with, do not support, or feel comfortable around anything religious. They attended our daughters baptism, but saw it only as a family function.

Fast forward seven years, our daughter will have her First Communion in November. In those seven years, I have listened to and watched (FB post comments, etc.) a rudeness I can't believe. My MIL and FIL are horribly rude and blatantly disrespectful to religious beliefs, other than being atheist of course. I really don't want to have them anywhere near my daughter on this special (to us) day. They don't believe in it, don't like it, and I don't know why they would come, other than, again, to get together with the extended family. I have no issue not having a party at all, just taking DD to dinner with supportive family and friends afterwards.

Am I being irrational?[/quote]
Your issue isn't that they are atheist, it's that they are rude as hell. I'm atheist and have been invited to plenty of religious ceremonies of our friends, and I know to sit down and lower my eyes, and then congratulate the host sincerely.  [/quote]
