Public officials can say that they believe in Christianity, or Islam, or Judaism or atheism, or any other religion. They can say that society would be better if religion played more of a part (much as I disagree) or if it were more secular (with which I agree).
What is unprofessional here is her stating that the sentiment (which was simply that atheists aren't alone) *made her feel ill*. It was not just a disagreement; it was a *condemnation* of a group of people. It's like a politician saying that black people, or Asians, or white people, or immigrants, or gays, or Catholics, or Protestants, or Jews, or Muslims *make her feel ill*.
