Help?

Okies, here's the thing. My mate is Christian. His family is Christian. I have tried to be Christian, but it feels wrong. It felt wrong when I was five, it still feels wrong. I have no idea why. That answer doesn't satisfy my mate.
What makes thinks a wee bit worse is that before we either get engaged or married his mother wants to hear from me that I believe in her God and her church.
It.. hurts. I don't like pretending to be something I'm not. *sigh*
Personally, I don't really think that it should matter what religion I am when I want to get married to someone I care for deeply. It's not like I'm a devil worshiper, ya know?
*sigh*
Has anyone else out there been in a similar situation?

I can see them giving me that look again when I tell them that I'm not Christian and I'm uncomfortable with it.
*sigh* Things can never be easy, ya know?
My mom has a problem with this and would like when/if my boyfriend and I get married to have a Catholic wedding. Thing is, my boyfriend's family is super Christian and he doesn't follow that religion, either. It's going to be an interesting wedding.
I wish you the best of luck with this problem. It's like a rock stuck in a hard place.
Good luck with your wedding.
Although it may not be exactly what they want to hear, it could work out to be a happy medium. Just remember that a compromise requires a little sacrifice on both ends; but I'm sure neither side will have too much of a problem with simply respecting the other's choice.
All else fails, you can bury them alive in a box* >:)
