How To Traumatize A Religious A-Hole

I'm an atheist, and my school is Christian. I normally don't have to go along to religious/church events, my parents will let me skip it and I can chill at home. But this one time, it was sprung up on me, so I had no choice but to go.

I was sitting on the pews, bored AF, and there was this middle-aged woman seated behind me, she tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. (I'm in first year of secondary so I was wondering why TF this woman is interacting with me, and that made me snarky) and this [I don't have the best memory so this may not be exact] conversation ensued:

Me: me, obviously. WL: weird woman.

Me: Yes?

WL, in a snappy tone of voice: Why aren't you taking part in Our Father's holy ritual? You should be giving respect to him.

Me: I'm an Atheist.

WL, pissed: Well now, that's not a real thing! You were made by God, and God makes no mistakes, so you ought to pray to Him in thanks.

Me: Well, if God makes no mistakes and also made me, then he meant for me to be an atheist.

WL, completely shocked: B-but-

Me: *turns around in my seat and goes back to ignoring her*

She did not bother me at all for the rest of the service, so I'm going to consider her traumatized back.

Help

So I'm lesbian. And I think I have a crush on a girl but I'm not sure and I need help, so I'm going to say some things {names will be changed for privacy reasons} and I want help on if i do or not because I have no idea on how to do lesbian crushes...

Me (F13) and my friend Emma (F13, a few months older than I am) often to go the cinema together. We sit beside each other or on a two-person seat, and my/her parent is either fairly far away or not there. Every time, we get sweets and popcorn, and we share. Recently I've kinda started wanting to hang out more often, (but I don't really tell anyone) and feeling kind of annoyed/irritated if I see her in the schoolyard with other girls.

I'm unsure because I usually have to kinda tell myself not to look at the person I have a crush on and I can feel my cheeks being hot when they touch me. With Emma, I don't really but I do feel kind of...tingly when she touches me, like when your leg falls asleep but less numb. Although that could just be my autism being weird, I don't think it is so I need advice.

TLDR: I think I have a crush on a school friend but I'm not sure if I do, so I would like help to figure it out.
