This situation you described is included in the same category as the situation discussed in "The Divine Code," p.145, by Rabbi Moshe Weiner, in regard to a wedding celebration that has some connection with idolatry, but some participants would be angered if a Noahide family member would not attend:*
-------------------
if bad feelings, anger or hatred will arise if one does not attend a wedding that is connected with idol worship, for example if a brother or a sister is getting married in a house of idol worship and most of the family will be attending, one is allowed to join the celebration even if the others engage in idol worship in honor of the occasion. But each person is individually forbidden to join in any type of celebration or prayer in which the idol is mentioned.
