Ok, my parents are strict Catholics, My older brother(17) is 100% satanic, I'm a Buddhist and my sister finds any form of Religion disgusting.
Our house is all classical, with expensive furniture and so on, cause of my parents.
My room is minimalistic with a small shrine to Buddha. My brother's room is all black, and he does quite extreme Satanic stuff. Sorry, I don't know anything about it. But I have seen blood on the floor and so on.
My sister thinks anyone that people worship is s*it and so on. She's 14. She's constantly complaining about out religions and so on.
My parents hate my brother...they haven't talked for 4 years, since he discovered Satanism. My parents don't like to talk to me either.
And basically they ignore my sister. I get along with her ok, but that's when nothing to do with Religion is involved.
What could I do to make my home life better (15/F btw)
I find it extraordinary how tense and difficult it must be in your household. I can't imagine how hard it must be for your parents to barely speak to any of you.
Your family is seriously lacking in communication. On one hand, your parents are disappointed that none of their children are following the religion they brought them up in, but on the other hand, you all have the right to follow whatever faith you choose.
I'm curious as to how often, if at all, this is discussed between the family. I think you really need to talk to your parents about this situation, because it can't be easy for them either. I would strongly advise that you discuss the possibility of some family councilling to help you all get along better.
You don't need to all follow the same religions, but this doesn't mean that you can't live and get along together. Personally, I am a Christian and have never had a problem getting on with people of other faiths.
I would also suggest that some additional councilling for your brother is considered, because the blood on the floor sounds incredibly worrying.
I really hope things get better for you and your family soon.

I'm actually the only one that makes some form of an effort to talk to everyone.
My brother is just strange, he doesn't like talking much, but my sister is great to talk to, until I say something religious related, then she starts her daily rant.
I used to suck in school. Like C was my best grade ever, now if I get an A in a quiz or even a B I go home and say ''Mom/dad...I got an A/B in my _____ quiz today'' and the reply I usually get is ''That 's nice''
They are rejecting any form of communication from me :\
