Atos,
​
My only advice is to help her realize that a belief in God and religion are not the same thing. A Church is man made while God is a spiritual being. "By their fruits you will know them" is not a bad criteria to go by. If a congregation makes her feel taken advantage of, belittled, and guilt ridden it probably isn't a "fruitful" congregation. If it were me, I would try and help her move to another congregation that still fits within her current ideology.
