I can't it anymore!!!!

Hey guys hope everybody is having a good day I was just hoping I could possibly get some advice on this.

I'm 17 and live my with my mother, She's heavily into Christianity and i am not, now her beliefs are her beliefs and that's OK but it's getting ridiculous. Every night I can't fall asleep because she plays gospels loud and it keeps me up then every morning between 6 and 9am I'm woken up by the same gospels except only this time she's praying very loudly and is "praying in tongues". It's very loud and frankly annoying. I work and sometimes have to start at 9am and it's not far I'm getting woken up at 6 am by that when I know if the tables were turned she would explode on me.

The only places she asks me to go with her too is too church, she only listens to Christian oriented music, and honestly sometimes I feel like she's so succumbed by this religion that I'm on the back burner like for example today is easter and she asked mt to go to church with here and I said no. She knows what my beliefs are and why I don't go and would hope she can respect that. No when I say no she says "well have fun eating then if you want to eat then then go to church" basically last night and still this morning she made/is making food and is basically saying I can't have any unless I do what she wants.. IM YOUR SON ARE YOU SERIOUS!? YOU WANT EVEN GIVE ME A PLATE OF FOOD?

I'm at re point where I think k may just leave I turn 18 in august and i know I definitely wouldn't be the first person to leave because of religious differences and i really don't want too because I would like to save money instead but I can't do it anymore I've tried talking to her and she just doesn't even care in her opinion god trumps all so I should shhh (not her exact words but that's the just of it)

So guys I'm asking for your advice..if nothing changes I'm leaving I can't take this anymore

TLDR:Mom smothers me with her religion and doesn't accept my beliefs .

You've tried talking to her and she just doesn't even care. You have to leave her and take an apartment, if you really can't support this.

That is bad - so good you can be off and get your own place -

my suggestion is . be out of the house as much as possible until ur 18 and then move out with a roommate .that way u can save some money and still be out of the house .and when at home .listen to music on ur headphones to block the rest out

Yeah, she shouldn't try to force her beliefs on you, that's not really okay.

somebody posted a similar thread some time ago and this is one of my favorite comments: At your current age (I'm 17 too. We're not adults yet. Please remember that. As long as you still live under HER roof, you're not an adult) what you're doing right now is basically biting the hand that is feeding you. I know how annoying it can be (I'm a non-believer as well and my mom is also deeply religious) but seriously how long do you need to hold on now? You're turning 18 already. Soon you'd be off for college and rent your own place. Just hang on until that time and keep your mom happy. It's not like going to church would kill you... Right? I know she's pushing you too much, but other than that she's a good mother isn't she? People screw up. She does, I do, you do... everyone. Forgive her for this one thing alright? :)

Think of it this way: if apparently she's not mature enough to accept you for who you are, and chose not to feed you because you're not going to follow her to church, then you're the mature party in this "battle". As the more mature side, you have to realize that you can not win this battle. Seriously how do you win against a toddler? So since you're mature enough to take a step back, take a deep breath and compromise, do so.
