Christianity compatible with atheism

[Ace Otana]

I will say that my grandmother is beginning to suffer from dementia. She calls me about twice a week and cries her eyes out because "She's afraid she won't see me in heaven.". Do I try to talk her out of believing in heaven? Hell fucking NO! Besides what people think of atheists, I am an atheist with compassion. I tell her I love Jesus now. My grandfather asked me to do so for her sake, and so I do. I just remind her when she calls that I have faith again, and it really does calm her down.

I probably would of gone with something like "there shouldn't be anything to fear, I haven't rejected god, just the claim and I've done no wrong". Don't think I could bring myself to lie about being a theist.

She must be really sure (or completely certain) that her beliefs are right. To cry over and all that. I certainly couldn't handle a religious relative who's obsessed with religion and fears that I'll go to a place that don't exist. Thankfully very few of my relatives are religious.

To the OP.
I don't think there is anything about religion I look to. It tried to pressure me into it, it looked down on me when I kept questioning it and it has caused much evil in the world.

He said that atheism serves a vital function because it seeks to liberate people from superstition and destroy the oppression of religion

Error there, atheism is just lack of belief in god's existence. What they're talking about is secular-humanism. Funny how they keep confusing the two.
