While I understand this sentiment from a non-theistic perspective, I'd be more concerned about comforting the family within their own Christian frame of reference. What I mean is this. Even if you think their beliefs are utter nonsense, it's not a teachable moment.

I wouldn't use it as a teachable moment.

Why would you be more concerned about comforting in their own frame of reference?

I don't think i could do this. This would require thinking like they do and speaking within the language of their belief system, which, i...don't believe in.
