My family has this tradition of gathering for holidays that always included saying grace together, but now that some of us have left the church and some haven't, these moments have become awkward and tense and nobody knows what to do.

More people experience this than they realize.
A family learning that rituals can become prisons when they no longer serve everyone they're meant to unite.
