Family at loggerheads over religion- stuck in the middle

Just that- sister does not approve of our mother's new found religion. Thinks it is "demonic" , her religion is the "truthful" one.
Mother desperate for advice- I am an atheist stuck in the middle, sister bending my ear telling me to "forbid" our mother from attending her church ( she is elderly and needs transport), mother is so confused, asking me about the "truth."

As an atheist I am really not qualified to comment.

Anyone else have religious family disputes?

soydora- she thinks it is bad, but not as bad as my mother being a devil worshipper.

Stay out of the fight, your mother's new beliefs are not hurting anyone and are obviously helping her! She'll meet some good people and have new friends. Yes, do give her lifts, that's a neutral thing to do.

Tell your sister to close her eyes and think of the Osmonds! At the end of the day only God can see into your mother's heart, it's not her place to judge the faith of another.

Your sis, despite being 'mainstream', sounds far more extreme than your mother!

Refuse to talk about religion to either of them.
