Do you argue with religious people?

She likes to say that all biblical prophesies have come true. She thinks I'm going to hell.

I have no idea what my grandmother really believed when she died, I do know that my family stopped prayers at family gatherings.  We'd all get together at Thanksgiving, she'd insist that everyone prayed, but my family wouldn't do it.  We'd sit quietly while everyone else talked to themselves but we wouldn't play along.  It didn't take too many years of that before the prayers stopped, I think everyone was embarrassed that we weren't pretending, and from that point on, there was nary a prayer to be had from anyone.  I couldn't care less who thinks I'm going to hell,  any more than I'd care if someone thought I was going to Valhalla.  It's all imaginary anyway.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
