Religion and grandparents

I have gotten to the point though where I will try to steer the conversation away from religion if I feel it's heading that way. This has helped some and I think my MIL is starting to see I don't appreciate the anti church talk.

+1 with SIL and BIL laughing at us for going to church, in front of the kids. They are another pair of childish adults, in so many ways besides religion, so I don't see what can be done until they grow up, if ever.

sounds like avoiding the subject all around is a good idea.

A lot of families do that with politics already.

Op here. I never said we weren't religious.
