Such genuine manifestations of religious faith and religious duty such as Jews observing their holidays or Muslims doing their daily players seem really to sicken such #Christians and impress them as backward and barbaric.

Their own "religion", such as it is, has done away with such things. Christianity has succeeded marvellously well at purging itself of rituals and traditions, seeking I suppose to be regarded as something invisible and yet omnipresent like gravity or the electromagnetic force, something that's always THERE and which therefore doesn't need to be exercised or honored in any way. Mind you, such Christians still have their rituals, but they take weird secularized forms, like voting Republican or shopping at Hobby Lobby or trying to bomb abortion clinics.

Thus has Christianity made itself comfortable amid Western society as an almost shapeless thing, devoid of spirituality or sacredness but still demanding absolute deference and a blind eye turned to all its wickedness. Christians, quite bluntly, are allowed to be evil to a degree that no other person can get away with in "the West".

Antisemitism is in fact endemic to #Christianity and thus "Western civilization", which gives Christianity special place, doesn't actually have a lot of room for honest practitioners of Judaism. Their holidays are not broadly respected, their dietary restrictions are mocked and disregarded (though not as viciously as those of Muslims) and antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories flourish abundantly among #Christians and in "the West", most especially in Great Britain. Christians are permitted openly to talk about the Roman tyranny's razing of Jerusalem in C.E. 70 as if it were God's judgment upon Judaism.

Why does Christianity get such extreme social latitude in Western society? I have a wicked hypothesis: it's because Christianity has (excepting an unknown number of individuals and obscure fringe groups) lost all its substance. Most Christians—especially those Christians who most loudly insist upon obtruding their purported faith and "Biblical values" into all walks of life—are profoundly irreligious, unholy, and hostile to the sacred. Christianity has become aggressively worldly and devoted to chasing after money and popular trends and, of course, secular political power.

(also note: "we're all sinners", but she completely loses her rag when she's accused of sinning herself. Welcome to what far too many #Christians call their "moral values".)

Now...I'm of the general opinion that people who behave in his way have learned, in the past, that it works for them. Kris and I, being #plural, have been forced by social pressure to behave as normally and as much like a single personality as possible. But normie persons, especially if they have Christianity as an excuse, are permitted a much greater social latitude when it comes to inconsistent and self-contradictory behavior.

No doubt this was not this woman's first public tantrum, and I would guess that in most cases when she's behaved like this, everyone around her backs off and gives her space. They simply don't want to deal with the raving Jesus freak, and that reinforces the ranting woman's conviction that she's speaking with the Lord's voice and that's why everyone is letting her misbehave. It's not politeness; it's not lenience or even condescension; it's the Power of the Lord forcing everyone to defer to her prophetic voice.
