Congratulations godless!
I cannot say I relate with this a whole lot because I was pretty much always open to everyone about being an atheist. At least the people in my family. But I am so glad you did this and I'm sure it feels much better to be open and honest with everyone. surprised your grandmother is the only one to reach out to you honestly.
It's always funny to me when I hear about situations like this where friends or family will reach out, so concerned, telling you to rethink your decision and this and that... as if you've suddenly come up with some new religion or something. It's like, no, I don't have new beliefs I just realize that I never really believed in that stuff in the first place.
It's more of a realization about your self then some new decision you're making. The only decision involved is simply sharing your newfound epiphany with those you love. Are you gonna block grandma?!

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
