To sack off a client for asking my religion

Recently been made redundant while on maternity leave from my oil & gas job and have started up self employed with a cleaning company. It has started off great and I have been fully booked with a waiting list already which is great. However, I I went to go view a clients house yesterday afternoon, arrived & was a massive mansion, thought okay this will be fine. The woman was nice however when I stepped in the home it was absolutely immaculate and I just got the sense from her she would be watching over my shoulder a lot. She then proceeded to take me to her second home down the hill which has a tenant, this woman was very prim and proper and after a few minutes she says oh it’s nice to have someone with a good background, are you Christian? I said emmm no would probably say I’m an atheist, then she proceeded to ask me if I had Christian values.
I immediately felt very uneasy and out of place, I just didn't vibe with them.
Upon reflection, I'm wondering whether to try shake them off, I just don't know what to do.
I don't necessarily need the money as I can replace the hours but I just feel bad, maybe I'm being too judgemental?!

You should tell her you’ve had a good think about what she said and you’re now a paid up member of the church of satan. And offer to bring her some literature.

I don't know what "sack off" means but why would you need to "vibe" with your client? Does sound like you're being judgemental to me.

She wants to make sure you don’t nick the silver whilst polishing it by the sounds of it!
If you don’t gel, you don’t gel. If you can replace the hours it’s fine to say to her that you don’t think it will work out.
