I really want to take time off from college. (20 year old junior), long read. sorry

Not to downplay your faith, but I’ve never heard of any religion that forbids sports. Seems strange. Anyway, just get through your undergraduate so you can claim your independence. You’ll be a lot happier once you’re free. After that, you’ll be an independent student and you can get a masters degree without your parents. The longer you wait, the longer it’ll be before you’re free.

Authoritarian parents may make up religious (or any other) reasons to support whatever unreasonable rules they impose on their kids.
