During an April 23 episode of "The Office" co-star with Rainn Wilson's podcast "Soul Boom," Kinsey discussed the years she played Angela Martin on the series that aired from 2005 to 2013.

Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute, asked Kinsey about her real-life relationship with God and her views on the Church, saying that her character was known as an "uptight Christian cat lady."

It sounds more like she thought the joke was shallow and cheap rather than just presenting Christians in a bad light. Two of her character’s defining characteristics were her judginess and hypocrisy. She had a long-running affair with Dwight that spanned a period when she was engaged to Andy.
