My 13 yo granddaughter told me she is an atheist [View all]
Proud Pawpaw here. 
Saturday I was having lunch with my son and my 2 granddaughters before taking the kids back to their mother's. Out of the blue she says "Ugh, I don't even know why I have to go to church any more. I'm an atheist..."
Her mom got religion after she and my son divorced and so she is inflicting it on the kids to make up for her partying past I guess. I was proud my granddaughter knew she could tell me that but I don't think she's told her mom yet. Her older sister is on the fence still. She is very popular in several of those catholic clubs they have for kids/teens and is afraid she'll lose her friends. The younger one is sick of going and doesn't care if she never sees those people again lol.
I'll just sit back and encourage when I can and let them both know I love and support them no matter what. Not trying to interfere with their mom's parenting but I am openly atheist and she knows it so I'm not gonna pretend I think any of her religion is OK.
