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?!

Once again a drama about nothing! You were asked a simply question, just give a reply and carry on. "Inappropriate" - give me strength!!!

If it offends you so much, then leave. It's your decision, why do you need help to make it?

Why is MN so full of delicate flowers who can't cope with anything?

I would give her a chance before assuming she'll micromanage you. If her is that big, I'd expect she wouldn't want too. You don't have to go back for a second job if you don't have a good experience.

If her money's good then keep her as a client.

Your business won't last long if you only work for people you agree with on non-work related matters.
