The moderator of the Bible quiz

Happy Independence Day! (Of course, a holiday like the one celebrated by Ben-Gurion and the Rabbi of Ponivezh only)
What does the rabbi think about whether it might have been better to intentionally not choose a religious woman in order to preserve the feeling that existed for many years that Bible study is not a matter for religious people only?
During the quiz, she said many times, “With the help of God,” “With the help of God,” etc.
And at the end, when they announced the winners, she told them, “I can’t raise your hands (as is customary when announcing), but raise your hands.”
She felt like she was forcefully externalizing, and even if she wasn’t, it was noticeable and extroverted.
I felt there was no reason for secular people to watch the quiz and it felt like a seminar on repentance.
(I wasn’t actually concerned with Bible study here, but rather whether it makes sense to choose a secular presenter, for example, and in short, whether to give the event a state aspect and try not to give it a religious feel, or to choose the presenter who is most suitable for the role for whatever reasons, and if she is religious, it doesn’t matter)
Thank you very much and I hope I was understood.
