By "short", I mean there are only three items on the list, but only two I'd like to address on here:
-All the [US] presidents
-Every great leader

He's wrong on these two points. The awesome list that was posted on page 1 is an excellent source.

Either way, I think you should focus on making your grandfather understand that being religious does not make you great.

I'd also like to warn you that your grandfather will more than likely never change his mind on the subject. He may occasionally just jab at the subject forever. You won't change his mind. The best you can do is change his outlook on the subject matter and remind him that you're his grandson, and still his grandson, despite whatever you choose to believe, or not believe.

I certainly wouldn't count on him changing his mind. My mom's less strict than him and I know she wouldn't. But, you're right, I should make it a point in at least trying to make him understand.

By the way, I'm his grandDAUGHTER. I guess I never realised Diamond was a guy's name! XD
