If so, how did they take it (I'm guessing "not well"), and where do things stand now?

Told my SO first. It did not go well, and there was a time when I thought I might end up having to move out. However, everything is fine years later, as they came to the understanding that mixed-faith relationships have been happening throughout human history, and those people are happy regardless of their religious affiliations.

Told my mother next, and being a progressive Christian who works with people of other religions, she was very cool with it.

Nobody else in my family knows explicitly. I don't know what suspicions they might have, but I don't really see the need to burden them with what is a personal choice in my life. We can have our family relationships without religion just fine.
