I definitely agree with the sympathy toward religion; I don't think that her disdain for the Sagitarron views on medicine extended to a disdain for all religions.

I've always imagined, for instance, that part of her motivation for helping Roslin the times she did was because of a respect for--whether it went all the way to belief in--the idea that Roslin was fulfilling a divinely appointed role.

Hm, I'll have to think about that. Maybe rewatch the election-stealing scenes again... I seem to recall that she helped Roslin get out of the brig before that, even.
