ELI5 : Heaven. My 7 yr old asked, Im stumped.

Necessary background : Im atheist, personally I have found religion to be utter bullshit, but that is something I found for myself. I would like to not color her opinion, and allow her to make her own informed decision. I left the answer at 'We can discuss it later' which my inner Nietzsche got a lol out of.

So what do you think, lay it out for her and tell her there is no god? (Shed have to accept this on faith then....) Or do I tell her there probably isnt a heaven (Crush Santa Clause solution... seems cold, esp. for a 7 yr old to hear). I dont want to lie to her, thats what churches do and I dont appreciate that. But on the other hand, shes very close to a great grandpa who is about to die (he may make it to Jan but I doubt it), so these questions are important and formative to her. I guess (and I see this after writing this) that my goals are for her to have a strong open mind, and a peaceful inner nature... so how would you proceed?

Is she already familiar with the idea that people sometimes have conflicting opinions?

I'd probably say something along the lines of "some people believe [Christianity stuff], and some people believe [other religion stuff - reincarnation, probably], and some people believe that there's nothing like that and what we see in the world is all that there is", and then either talk about why people have those different beliefs (comfort, being raised in  religion, evidence) or ask her what she thinks.
