" If they are abusing you I'd call 1 800 4 A CHILD (1 800 422 4453) and report it because nobody should have to go through that.
And honestly I had to go through something similar with my biological father. He is strict catholic and doesn't want me to believe anything else but that and (figuratively) shoves it down my throat. I personally am agnostic and don't believe in organized religion and my twin is an atheist. Which when we told him he hit both of us. We have never lived with my father but now I really don't visit him because of our arguments about religion, my choices and homosexuals.
Being apart of an abusive family isn't healthy for you. And if they threaten to kill you I'd get outta there asap and go live with someone else for a while.
In Kentucky and you are 13 you can legally choose who you want your guardian to be, and it doesn't have to be a parent. I'm not sure about other places but hopefully there is something like that where you live.
I know it's probably hard to talk about this but if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here for you. "
