12. Worry if she were an atheist

Right, because atheists can't understand how to administer social services without the direction of someone's god?

In most states the administration of government agencies designed to aid the poor, children, or veterans more closely resembles proof of hell than proof of god and heaven.

There are some truly abysmal agencies being run by god fearing folk, and those agencies fail every day to provide the services and protections they are tasked with providing to the public every day.

An atheist might be just the trick to get some of the agencies back on mission critical tasks that actually serve and protect the core constituency they were designed to serve.
