Do you agree with my husband that it's hypocritical for my atheist son to let his 14 year old son go to church?

For whatever reason my grandson became curious about church and decided he’d like to try it. He’s been going every Wednesday for the last year (to a Baptist church no less!)
My husband thinks it’s hypocritical of his parents to let him do that since neither my son, nor his wife, believe in God.
I think it’s a good thing, letting the child come to his own conclusion without coercion.
They can’t come to their own decisions with out something to compare it with.

BTW I raised my kids in Christianity. Sometime in their adulthood they all decided religion has no merit.
They kept their change of heart from me for a long time so spare my feelings.
Unbeknownst to them I experienced a change of heart of my own back in 2007. I didn’t say anything to them.

My husband decided to confront the “issue” head on last night, and he straight up asked if I was an atheist. I quietly gave a half nod.

But I digress.

So what say you?
