My grandfather just passed on the 5th. 86 years old and had some kind of cancer. He and my grandmother (still alive) were pretty religious. They enjoyed their church friends, and just the idea that there is a God (and probably that all-American, straight and narrow vibe that being a Christian exudes).
But, they knew I was an atheist, and even seemed to take comfort that I had a community for my atheism. They did not judge. Great people.
And at the end of the day, my grandfather no longer has a vote. He is dead. He is not looking over me, and your grandma is not going to be looking over you.
You do you (as long as you're civil about it, and I know you will be).
Good luck, and condolences.
