But only after you responded to me. It wasn’t clear at all from your initial response.

I don’t agree with your idea that the OP was making fun of the others’ religious beliefs as much as making fun of the extremely ostentatious display of that belief on every inch of their car. People who decorate their cars in extreme ways want commentary and the attention it generates. The OP did not insult their religion. She indicated she is religious herself. She simply reacted to their display.
