Ignosticism is the idea that the question of the existence of a god is meaningless, because the term god doesn't have a clear definition. Did they tell their closed ones the mere definition of God isn't clear, or did they just say they lack belief?
Honestly, I really don't know. I was raised RCC. Back when I was a kid, I figured out that all of the religious stuff was baloney like Santa. I wasn't open about that for maybe 20 years. Now I don't care. What would the grown ups think? Fukkem. I'm a grown-up, or last time I checked 49 seems to qualify. There is a thing of which I am proud. Somehow, I have passed on the attribute of critical thinking to my progeny. To me that is success as a parent. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see my children using their fuckin brain and engaging in critical thinking and logic and reason. Does it mean I am dictating what they may or may not believe? Of course not. The joy is in seeing them develop their thinking and having a forum where they can frankly challenge anything, and ensuring that such is available to them.
Now, my eldest is trans, and my youngest is a tart. Does it worry me? On a practical level perhaps. But I am steadfast in insisting that they are both their very own person and must be respected as such.
