I think my new next door neighbours might be Atheists.... [Spirituality & Religion]

Recently a new family have moved in next door and while they initialy seemed perfectly circumspect and pleasent, I have started having suspicions about them.

Mostly I am apprehensive about them because of their child, who is 14-17 years old but I can't be exactly sure because he's a goth/emo and is always wearing an insane amount of makeup.

When I first went to introduce myself, my first thoughts were that he's of to a fancy dress party but that was months ago and every time I've seen him he's always dressed in black and pale as a ghost and usually, wearing mascara.

Obviously this is more than a phase he's going through and something is up with this new family. I consider the parents suspect and culpable.

Hmmm well it sounds like an average teen to me, and I'm not sure what the families religious beliefs (or lack of) have to do with it. I myself believe in God and have accepted Jesus and will be the first to tell you some atheists are better people them some of the self-proclaimed Christians.

If the boys family is not abusing him and are providing his needs than I don't see a problem in their parenting. If the boy is just wearing black and not causing trouble for anyone what's the trouble? I don't understand why it bothers you so much.
