It's not like being raised in a conservative evangelical home during her impressionable years damns your sister to Christianity and all its evils. When she's older, there's a 50-50 chance she may make choices similar to you, or your parents - I'd guess a blend with her own kick to it. If she looks up to you (I'd wager yeah), then she may very well find herself questioning without even meaning to. The fact that she has you is a lucky stroke, because in many families you could find nothing but blind obedience to the Christian faith - who would she look to in a home like those? Things could be a lot worse.
Incidentally, I know you've heard this before - do try and specify where you're pointing that finger a bit more than "[single religion overall perspective who follow God Jesus and Peanut Butter]".
I mean, go ahead and sing me the praises of Atheism all you want, as I do certainly appreciate the perspective. I am assuming that your basic reasoning behind the blunt negativism in the post was a combination of built up irritation and fresh anger at your situation. But if you want to avoid spammer and trolling types of responses, you may want to consider being a big more considerate of how you word yourself.
