Anna is one of my favorite Expanse characters outside the main crew. Flawed, struggling with doubts like anyone, but very thoughtful and compassionate. She's such a nice portrayal of a religious person and reminds me a lot of a couple people I knew while I was doing graduate work and who I respected a great deal.

I agree, I also love her as a good representation of a religious person. Religious people in popular media are otherwise almost always either stupid or fanatical, or both. This good portrayal almost makes up for the way The Expanse portrays scientists xD In general, I like the way The Expanse incorporates religion and religious people. Many Sci-Fi shows completely ignore that aspect, like religion wouldn't exist anymore in the future or at least not be relevant anymore. I feel like Dan and Ty took a page out of GRRM's work for that aspect, to make sure that religion remains an important and interesting aspect to explore when developing these radically different worlds. Especially then. Even the Mormons in the first couple seasons were interesting. We didn't really see a lot of them but the few we saw didn't seem like radicals or extremists despite their rather ambitious plan.
