Why?

Because she was a fanatic.

Do you remember her???

Here's one quote about her:

"I had a personal encounter with O'Hair in 1979 in a televised debate in Miami. The issue up for grabs was Christian virtues and their involvement in public schools. O'Hair did not simply see the event as a debate but as a chance to further her crusade to rid the planet of Christianity. She was a tough opponent and ahead of her time in one respect--she understood television."

Given the chance of a national platform, you can bet your bottom farthing that she would have taken advantage of it.
