I wouldn't take the 'I was an atheist' thing too seriously either way. There's a lot of confusion over the exact meaning of the term, although we internet atheists have come to a pretty solid consensus on it, not every atheist is an internet atheist, so there's room for honest disagreement. Unless Aiza was a rational skeptic, she would have no good reason to not become a Catholic.
It would be an interesting experiment to put up a sign in a front yard in a small town here in SC that said 'Home of a Proud Atheist' and film the results. It would be statistically insignificant, but I think it would be viscerally more understandable to the 'atheists have it easy' crowd.
