Lena is not trying to make her daughter "believe in God." She is drawing the line for what is acceptable in her house. All parents do this, whether the issue concerns religion or not.
And as long as a child is in the house of a parent--and is not being abused or harmed--that child ought to respect the beliefs and practices of the parent. Grown and on their own, that person is free to do as they wish, which is Lena's point: "In my mother's house, there is still God."

Also, "fear and intimidation" are not the "backbone of Christianity." However, they may be the backbone of institutionalized religion, which is just another form of power and oppression.
It is not the way of Christianity, where questions, dialogue, deep thinking, and a search for answers are embraced.

@GirlieRat You're obviously missing the point. It's just trying to portray the different generations.

Bennie should have known better than to go there- When she got the first warning; should have left then to go find Little Gorgie.

Claudia McNeil (Mama) was one of the all time great (and unsung) actresses. She had a towering on-screen presence that no one could come close to matching. She helped pave the way for the Halle Berrys and Angela Bassets of the world. They owe a debt to her for that can never really be repaid.

That's the backbone of Christianity. Fear and intimidation to make people believe. I hate this scene. Always have, always will.
