I thought it was a little bit different? As far as I know, and understand the Novel, is that Tanya is also an Apostle without her knowing it.

SPOILER WARNING

There was that mention in Volume 4 I think that said the Russy Leadership, a.k.a Loria and Josef, were haunted by nightmares(visions) about an Apostle coming to them and bringing them to justice. That is probably because they started purging political enemies and traitors to the state. And under that purge were a lot of many mages as well.

And mages are akin to gods chosen people in this universe as far as I can guess. Only they seem to have a higher connection with "God". And it was said in Volume 1 that the holy administration (archangel) put many miracles into the world to sway the people. One being Tanya´s Computation Orb.

Anyway, that purging brought about the visions and ended up in their paranoia leading them to attack the empire first. And the only being connected to "God" they would encounter shortly after is Tanya for that matter.

So I think Tanya is a forced Apostle and X doesn't even care about her believing him or not. Soon her mind will be purged. It is seen that she does slip in concentration from time to time and actually praises "God". In a way her saying that there are only Devils in this world but nothing like a benevolent God is the only truth one needs to know. The holy administration also seems to be acting on its own plans (possibly Mary Sue).

That makes me question who really is on the "Gods" side and who is actually on the "Devils".
