There is nothing at all about faith that says it cannot be insane. I.e., something can both be faith and be insane (OBL being a very relevant example of that). They are not exclusive of one another. This is someone who wants to mix politics with faith, and that should never be left alone. Its not "to each her own when her fundamentalist style of faith has a potential effect on the whole world. It becomes my business due to her wish to have power.

If she was not a pentecostal, not an evangelical end times believer, and she kept her faith personal - well sure that would be none of my business. But that is not who she is, so it is everybody's business.

I know you have no faith. I won't begrudge you that. But I will begrudge you for calling something those with faith often do as insane.
And i will continue to begrudge this woman regardless. She is incredibly dangerous.
