When family astronomy traditions become spiritually divisive

My daughter comes home from college and wants to do our old tradition of lying on the deck looking at stars and talking about life's big questions, but my wife rolls her eyes now and says it's 'pseudo-spiritual nonsense' ever since she went through her atheist phase last year. I'm caught between them and our family ritual that used to bring us together feels impossible now.
