Do you think the former nurse Lucy Letby is an Atheist or do you think she believes in God?
Why/why not?

Many of the most infamous psychopaths throughout history have been believers in some sort of organized religion. As others have already pointed out, being religious would have made no difference. A mental illness like psychopathy can be all-consuming, as is the case with her. During the sentencing, the judge acted like he didn't know anything about mental illness. Of course she didn't express any remorse whatsoever. Total psycopaths are incapable of that.

@diablo Ben Myers did not use mental illness at all in her defence.
He did a brilliant job for her. In his pre-sentencing statement he said there were no mitigating circumstances.
She had been assessed apparently on her mental capacity and was considered ‘normal’.
The judge was outstanding.

@SW-User That's all good to know, as we Americans (in general) did not follow the trial much at all. The summer here has been all about the relentless heat and climate change.
If mental illness was not used, what was her defence? Tbh, that assessment was pure rubbish, as you (???) Brits say. I've studied the psycopathy of serial killers and she checks many of the boxes. Her mind is in no way 'normal'.

@diablo There was another neonatal nurse thirty years ago who used similar techniques. This suggests Letby was familiar with the book about her. Though she added the gross technique of making a haemophiliac bleed by pushing an object down his throat.
All this was compounded with the consultants pleading with the management to take action. They did not, other than support Letby.
