A rebellious teen’s family goes missing. During her search for them, she uncovers a government conspiracy to end all religion.

I still ?am unable to buy the the premise that the protagonist is the 1st one to discover a government plot to suppress all religion. ?That doesn't make sense. ?In every instance in history where a government set out to suppress religion, everyone darn well knew about it.

What's the trick that enables the big bad government in this scenario to suppress all religions ?-- and no one knows about it until the kid stumbles upon it.

But, if I could buy into the premise, what becomes the teen's objective goal when he discovers it? ?What must he do about it?

And since he's a rebellious teen, the logical conclusion is that he isn't scrupulous about walking the strait and narrow path of righteousness himself. ?So why would he care if all religion is being suppressed? What are the personal stakes for him?

I think an antagonist and flaw would help make this a more compelling concept.

Not sure rebellious is quite the best choice, what other flaw could you give her that would make it harder for her to achieve her goal?

Secondly is there a bad guy or gal? I think it would be better to make her face an opponent - a crazed government agent, or a staunch socialist. Other wise the enemy is faceless and the obstacle?unclear.
