Granite can indeed contain trace radioactive elements. Whether or not the particular granite countertop you buy does is a roll of the dice, although the odds are in your favor. The chances of radon being a problem are going to be very very slim.
As an alternative, there's the Richlite material, made from wood pulp and phenolic resin. It's nearly indestructible and doesn't harbor the growth of bacteria. I have a cutting board made of this material and it's got a nice 'feel' to it, almost like oiled wood. Website link is below. Comes in 7 colors. I like the black - it looks like those old soapstone counters from your high school chemistry lab.
Anyway, this is what I'd put in my kitchen.
