My dad connects everything with the church I'm crine 😭

General Discussion

My dad is what you would call a TBM. He's extremely devoted and hardcore to the church and spends countless hours preparing for lessons and meetings for the church. I'm currently 17 and I honestly don't believe in the church, I just go to keep my parents happy. But god my dad is sometimes so annoying because he connects everything with god. At the dinner table? He starts mentioning how this food was created by god. I won a wrestling match one time and when I asked my dad how I did he just smiled and said, "it's cause we prayed, with gods help you were able to win" I wanted to slap him so bad. He was congratulating God for helping me win? I WON THAT MATCH ON MY OWN! And don't even get me started on when we watch movies. Now spoiler warning for avengers endgame but our family was watching the movie together, and we were all dead silent. It was the climax scene where iron man says his iconic line, "I'm iron man" and snaps his fingers, it was a super cool scene until my dad had to ruin it by connecting iron man's sacrifice to Jesus's sacrifice. He then proceeds to talk over the movie about this for a good 10 minutes, and I wanted to tell him to shut up. I love my dad, I honestly do! But I just can't stand how he has to bring up church EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION I have with him. Was all your Mormon parents like this? Constantly bringing up church in the most random moments?
