Frankly, I'm pretty sure I can't will myself to disbelieve in gravity, or negative numbers, or pi.
So I don't see why I should be expected to affect other things that I believe by an act of will.
So it looks to me like the family of this poor lonely person is being unreasonable to expect this person to affect zir belief in God by an act of will. Especially when they don't even think their *own* beliefs are an act of will, if I'm understanding correctly.

I'm really glad my family isn't like that.
