Input: So a couple of days ago my grandaunt (the sister of my grandma) passed away at 98 years of age. My mom is shattered, since she has always been very close to her aunt and visited her about 3 times per week. So the past couple of days have been very rough and emotional for her.

Me (24F) and my brother (23M) on the other hand, didn’t see our grandaunt very often, probably once a year or even less. My grandaunt was a very complicated woman and she would criticize us a lot. She was also very religious and would regularly give us slack for not going to church (I’m an atheist). I therefore didn’t like her very much. 

Because of her complicated persona and her old age, my grand-aunt didn’t have many friends or family. My mom is therefore arranging the whole funeral by herself. I will be surprised if more than 30 people show up tbh. 

Anyways, my mom will be speeching and she asked me to do the same, since ‘I am the oldest’ and also because there will probably be no one else to give a speech. I refused, and told her that I wasn’t even close to my grandaunt and I cannot think of anything nice to say. My mom was very disappointed, and asked me if instead I wanted to read my grandaunt’s favorite poem at the funeral, and that ‘it would mean so much to her \[my mom\]’ if I did. She showed me the poem and it was *extremely* religious, talking about God and Jesus and about going to heaven, etc. I told my mom there is no way that I am going to read it, since it goes against some of my core beliefs and I would feel like a hypocrite if I would (not only because I’m not religious, but also because I just didn’t like my grandaunt). 

Now my brother just called me a couple of hours ago, telling me that I should ‘stop being such a little bitch’ and just read the poem for my mom. He told me that mom feels very upset and also arranging the funeral on her own has been very rough for her, and that this is ‘the least I can do’ to show her that at least I care. I told him that ‘if I were dead I wouldn’t want someone I rarely knew to speak at my funeral’ and also that ‘instead of giving me a hard time you could also just offer to read the poem yourself, if you care so much’. But he counters that by saying that ‘mom specifically asked you’. 

I really do not feel comfortable reading this weird religious piece of text at the funeral of someone I truly disliked, even though I know I’d make my mother extremely happy if I did. Am I being an asshole? 

**TL; DR:  Grandaunt (my grandma’s sister) passed away and my mom asked me to read my grandaunt’s favorite (very religious) poem on her funeral. I refused, because I am an atheist and because I generally just didn’t like the woman. Overreacting?**
