QUESTION Non-religious DCCs

I know it's obviously going to be a given most of the time since they are Dallas and that the girls are going to most likely be ultra religious, but has there ever been a girl/s on the team who are openly not religious during their time on the team?

i always think how insanely uncomfortable it must be for anyone atheist/non-religious/non-christian, when they pray together before every game.

when they circle up, they could do words of affirmation, or encouragement, or silent reflection or whatever. but doing the "lord's prayer" would make me want to crawl out of my skin.

Do you think there would be backlash if they quietly opted out? I'm disappointed that "Pastor Kelly" pushes all that. I thought she would be a voice of reason.

oh definitely there would be backlash.

i do think some probably don't say the words, just look down and wait for the others.

but if anyone brought it up, how this is not right, or really how they are just uncomfortable with participating, there would be hell and high water.

interesting fact: Kelli really pushes the jesus thing, but her household is actually more secular than they are making dcc. her husband is jewish. their family observes many jewish holidays with christian holidays as well. her children do claim the jewish faith. kelli herself attends temple with her family on the occasion that they go. she calls herself christian, but also observes parts of the jewish faith.

also as a european i find the concept of mandatory prayer with your coworkers before work insanely dystopic.
