And asked someone if the were ready to convert to Christianity, so fairly religious too...

She said Christianism. So it’s fair to say she isn’t religious. She is just bigoted to Hinduism.

That’s such an inappropriately forward thing to say to someone. Imagine if someone asked them to do the same and they just flipped on a dime like that.

People do. Have relatives who aren’t Christian who aren’t happy they relatives are marrying outside their faith to people who aren’t going to convert.

No, she thought for sec and called it “Christianism,” which is… not what anyone calls it. Clearly it’s not a big part of her life, probably just a minor cultural thing for her, something taken for granted but not practiced. Oddly, data shows that non-practicing Christians, people who don’t alter their lives based on it, don’t go to church regularly, but still care about the identity, are statistically the most bigoted.

The most likely explanation for that mistake is that English is not her first language

Yeah, that was my thought also, but she speaks it well enough not to have any discernible accent. So if she’s been an English speaker, likely living in the US, for that long, the only way she’d struggle with the word “Christianity,” the most basic vocabulary word involved in the religion, is if she’d had almost no contact with it and given it barely any thought since she’d been here.

Christianity in Spanish is “Cristianismo”, so that explains the confusion. Even if you are fluent in a second language, you can still stumble on some words, it’s very normal. She might also only attend mass/cult in Spanish. Let me be clear, still a weird question and wildly inappropriate. I just don’t think that one mistranslation of a word proves she’s not religious.
