A lot of parents are way too invested in their children and expect them each to be a mini-me version of the parent.
A lot of people are way too invested in one religion or another and believe it has all the answers to everything.
My wife and I are atheists, and we don't have a lot of respect for any religion. Our teenage daughter is well aware of this, and we've also explained to her why some people take great comfort from religious beliefs and how religion can occasionally be a force for good as well as how it can be a corrosive and destructive force in personal lives and in societies as a whole. The only situation in which I can imagine us being upset if she suddenly found God is if it was in the form of some exploitative, abusive cult.
