Yes, this.

I was so, so frustrated throughout the episode -- it was like the religious kids were taking advantage of Kurt's tragedy to shoehorn their religious beliefs into his life. And the fact that they really were only trying to help made it even worse and more stressful for Kurt. Not only does he have to deal with his dad's possible death, he's getting harassed by his presumptuous, insensitive friends, who are demanding that he deal with it in a way that affirms THEIR beliefs. And the show wound up doing just that -- affirming their beliefs, and patting Kurt on the head for the ~tragedy that ~destroyed his belief -- because belief is the default state.

The kids I can forgive, because it was so obvious that they cared and wanted to help, but were going about it in a totally self-involved way -- hi, teenagers! Rachel, especially, because, Rachel. But I wanted to smack Emma, for exactly the reason you gave. She cared more about allowing the religious kids to continue their harassment than she did about Kurt himself. She should know better.
