The answer

The inquirer's fear and her intrusive thoughts are conclusive proof that she does not trivialize religion. There is no mockery of religion or its rituals in the situations she mentioned, as mockery is derision and trivialization. The best cure for her condition is to completely disregard these intrusive thoughts.
