Some Quaker. "Jesus" is never mentioned. "God", "the Almighty" or any variation thereof, is never mentioned. The only indication she may be religious in any way (other than stating so at the end of the article) is that she uses the word "pray". Once.

I stand corrected. She also uses the word "grace".

I think that's where many Quakers are now. Not long ago, the Atlanta papers ran a piece on the local group. Several members commented that they no longer consider themselves Christians because restricting themselves to a single religious tradition is not "inclusive." All that's left when you cut loose your moorings, of course, is individual inspiration--or the whim of the moment, as the case may be.
