[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. [b]They attended our daughters baptism, but saw it only as a family function. [/b]

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]

How did they behave at the baptism?  Were the polite and respectful?  At least, did they hold their tongues? If so, invite them to the Communion.
