When you're paid by the public to serve the public you either do your job or step aside. Deliberately not doing your job gets you fired. This ain't rocket science.

Weirdly, the least electable population segment is the atheists.

That is because atheists can't be trusted.

She did the job she was elected to do.
They changed the job after she was elected and wanted her to do something she could not do without violating her Christian beliefs.
She requested a reasonable accommodation but was denied.
Neither is it Dumb and Dumber, like you want it to be.
When she stopped issuing licenses, she by definition stopped earning eighty grand a year.
Job requirements and tasks change all. The. Time.
So she should've resigned.
She works for Caesar. Caesar told her to do something. She refused. What followed isn't surprising and is completely in bounds. The only person in this situation who's being irresponsible and unreasonable happens to be the bureaucrat who's been married four times and refuses to do her job.

In Atheists We Distrust
. . .
Will Gervais at the University of British Columbia recently published a set of studies looking at why atheists are so disliked. His conclusion: It comes down to trust.
. . .
Gervais and his colleagues discovered that people distrust atheists because of the belief that people behave better when they think that God is watching over them. This belief may have some truth to it. Gervais and his colleague Ara Norenzayan have found that reminding people about God’s presence has the same effect as telling people they are being watched by others: it increases their feelings of self-consciousness and leads them to behave in more socially acceptable ways.

The belief doesn't line up with the reality that Christians do bad stuff at about the same rate as every other group.
Do they? What studies have you read on it? Sounds like an interesting thing to examine. I'd want a number of parameters, from people who declare but, say, don't affiliate and those who do affiliate but don't attend regular services. That sort of thing.
And has the audacity to pretend her own example justifies her judgment of other people's marriages ...

Why wouldn't you be a politician?
to promote christian values
So open a soup kitchen or halfway house.
will that stop the killing of babies?
I forgot, you've got a one-track mind and seem to think only one thing in the world is ever worth caring about.
you also forgot that there are some things more important than others
maybe you never knew that
Yes, some things most certainly are. My problem comes from people who seize on an impossible to solve issue at the expense of all others and then lord it over anyone who disagrees with them as though they have some kind of moral high ground.
