However, i'm 18 and she's 19 and it's really hard to hide this from both of our parents, as we still live with them. My parents found out about us back in June but they told me I had to break up with her. I didn't do that and lied to her saying I did. My problem is I wanna tell her but I'm about to graduate highschool in June and go off to college in August. I really wanna tell them, but I know that they will take away the car they let me use so I can't see her and they will tell her parents(who would be super duper against it). Their problem is they are Christian and believe it is wrong. I on the other hand am atheist and see nothing wrong with it. Is there something I'm missing to get them to understand, or an action I can take? Or am I just stuck waiting til August?

I'm not saying disrespect them or lie to them, tell them the truth and explain that you're not breaking up because you love her etc.
You're 18 and 19, age of rebellion right here, go for it, just be sure not to argue with them, just explain it calmly and say look I don't believe what you do, let me lead my life. If they take the car then they take the car, there's no point being childish about it but they might be, so let them, just stay true to who you are and who you want to be.
