"Instead of looking to an outside source for the solution to humankind's problems, we see that responsibility as [our own]. We have to reach out and support each other. We can't say a prayer to an invisible being somewhere and expect that to be the solution. The solution has to be when one human reaches out to another."

Sounds like she had a flawed notion of God from the beginning. God isn't there to 'solve our problems'. He made us rational beings to do that for ourselves. However, if we have no moral underpinnings for our actions, our problems will never be solved.

I guess she needs to ask herself, in the absence of some sort of morality, which is, at its base, religious teaching of some sort, how are humans supposed to 'reach out to each other', and solve any of our problems in a just manner?

I think you identified a key clue to the problem here. Reminds me of the hologram in I Robot that made it clear he was asking the wrong question.
