Trying not to be a hypocrite...

Trying not to be a hypocrite...
Is it any worse to let elderly people think you believe in god than it is to let children think you believe in Santa Claus? My grandparents are in their 70's and were part of the reason I was raised in church. It's not like I'm worried I'm going to be kicked out of the will or anything because they aren't well off, I just don't want to hurt them. I know that me not believing the same as they do shouldn't matter, but it will to them. Any suggestions for when god is brought into the conversation?
