How do I best say no, I don't want to go on a mission?

Like no, I don't want to leave home for 2 years to spread propaganda and give more control to the church. I am 13M (Almost 14) who lives in a Christian family. My church is basically forcing us to go on a mission and it's pissing me off. "sERvE tHE lORD" "hElP pEopLE fIND hAPiNEsS" No, I'm not serving your imaginary friend and spreading lies. I'm the only atheist in the family too. between my older sister and my parents. How do I tell them that I'm not changing my mind or attending seminary It's sad that schools which are supposed to provide education tell kids to study a fairy tale and pass it off as real I stopped beliving in this crap ever since I was 12 And it's sad that my family is just blindly following it.

Edit: No, I'm not being forced I just want hen to get it through their head that I am not going on a mission and I'm not changing my mind
