My family know, but mostly because of my lived example rather than any explicit conversation with them.
They knew when I moved to a more liberal church (Society of Friends, who I have a lot of respect for), and when I eventually stopped going there as well, but I never explicitly said.
My sister has asked if id consider “coming back to church” but it was a pretty relaxed conversation to be honest.
It’s just something that’s the way it is now. Occasional remarks (especially as I’m marrying, legally, without a religious ceremony) but nothing terribly cutting! My mother is a little passive aggressive at times but that’s not explicitly to do with my religious practice (or lack thereof).
