#2: How about being upfront about it with them. Maybe you can call them and say: "Hey, I really want to take that job, and I've love to, and I know I can help you guys so much. First, I want to be upfront about something. I'm not that religious anymore, and I know you wanted someone highly religious. Now, I'm not going to bring it up the fact I'm not highly religious anymore while working there, and I completely respect what everyone's devotion is. I just wanted to be honest and straight with you guys. If despite that, you still would love for me to work for you guys, I'll be happy to."
And be ready to accept their decision either way.
Sometimes you'll be surprised though what people will be ready to accept when you're honest and completely upfront with them.
You may BTW get questions from them about your beliefs so they can gauge how far you aren't highly religious, so be ready to have answers for that.
