Use the phone, and if you want to be safe, only during breaks.
She probably didn't want to confront you about the real reason she fired you, or even let you know what it was. I mean, I would be pretty embarassed if I was her.
No, it was likely for legal reasons. In America, the law forbids terminating someone on religious grounds unless the job itself is religious in nature -- working in a church, that sort of thing.
