Is it wrong that I don't want to go to religious family events?

I was raised Catholic but I found that I had a better way of life if I forgot about God.
I have always said that I am an atheist since the age of 16.
I know that most of my family is still somewhat religious but I just feel to uncomfortable when being asked to go to a church to watch a child being indoctrinated into a cult.

I was raised as a jehovahs witness until I reached 15,when I rebelled against the stifling regime.With school and the endless meetings and door to door calling,I found my whole time was being taken without any regard as to what I wished to do.Even when spare time did happen,it was frowned upon to mix with others who were not witnesses.Once I had broken away,I loved my life,and started to make friends with those I liked and found fun.I understand what you mean when you say you feel uncomfortable attending the events,and think it very,very strange that children should be integrated into a belief before they have any chance to mature and answer for themselves as to what they do or dont agree with.
