Writers should make their Characters relate to their audience.
You are an Atheist writing about the lives of Christian characters,
While sneaking in sacrilegious text. So its a recipe for disaster.
When a Christian reader reads about the life of another Christian they say
'This character is Christian and I am Christian therefore I like this character(and by extension the book)'
You don't have to create characters that relate to your audience's current lives.
You can make them so that your characters are living lives that your audience would want.
For example:
In the Eragon series, Christopher Paolini created a character who had a special connection with a dragon. This is something that many lovers of the fantasy Genre would want in their lives. Therefore, the people who love fantasy will relate to the character in that sense, and enjoy the story of this character.
