told me she's an atheist.. I told her I was too. Her parents, my son and daughter in law, are agnostic, but her other grandmother is very religious.

I told her to follow her own beliefs, but maybe leave her grandmother out of the loop for a while. She's not being forced to go to church or subscribe to any faith and her grandmother doesn't really push her about religion. I'm afraid if she actually did express this to her grandmother, the reaction wouldn't be good, and right now they have a good relationship.

This crap from dear abby is garbage. talk to your priest?
