What can I do to help my parents stop worrying about my faith? [Spirituality & Religion]

I was raised atheist, by atheist parents. Recently, fortunately, I've come to accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. My parents do not like that. They are geniunely afraid I'll end up in a cult because of my belief in God.

What can I do to make it easier for them? I don't want to compromise my Christian values (even though it's not like they cause conflicts with their lifestyle that much anyway), but I don't want them to worry so much about me, there's simply no need for it.

I've been trying to act lovingly and acceptingly towards them even when we argue about faith, which seems to work. Any further advice?

Similar personal experiences are also welcome.

Never argue your faith. Just quietly accept each other as you are. You might tell them that you are sorry, you love them, but you will just have to agree to disagree on this one subject. I congratulate you on your decision . Let nothing stand in your way nor defeat you. You are a Christian soldier now . And as such, we stand to the end , not wavering in our faith or decision. It doesn't matter who agrees or disagrees with us. We know who we are in Christ. That won't change. Satan is just trying to disrupt your world since you became a Christian. He's trying to make your life miserable and test you, to see if you will stay in the faith and remain faithful even in hard times. We are MORE than conquerors through Christ. No turning back. How we conduct ourselves, shows Christ exactly how much we love him . Carry-on brother . I'm so proud of you.
