Maybe they are a normal religious group that is being unfairly maligned as a cult. But if they are actually a religious cult that treats women similarly to a man's property (harkening back to the olden times when women had very few rights and were reliant on their husband to provide for them), then I think her relation to that group would be a negative and wouldn't be bigoted towards religion to point that out.
I don't know much about them either, but I would think that if they were really a religious cult that treats women as property, I think more would be made about that using real world examples than constantly trying to conflate PoP to The Handmaid's Tale.

No, I agree. Nait was belittling a successful woman using her religion in as demeaning a way possible. Usually that's decried as sexist, but apparently it IS okay to be sexist against conservatives despite fred's whining of the use of the "victim card".
