on my last visit, a couple of weeks ago, my 14 year old told me she told her other grandmother she was an atheist. Her other grandmother is very religious, my son and daughter in law are not. Needless to say, her grandmother was horrified.
She asked me for advice, "I don't want to lie" she said.
I told her: her other grandma will love her unconditionally, just like I do, but this is a serious issue with her and it's important to respect that. She promised to go easy on her grandma and keep some stuff to herself, but I encourage her secular beliefs.

If one of my grandkids come to me with the declaration she's "found jeeesus," I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and follow my own advice. Hopefully that won't happen.
