The key to defining any discipline is to define problems that are typically solved by its practitioners. Also, defining a broad discipline is usually meaningless. Give me any definition of mathematics, and I will find you at least one branch of mathematics that does not conform to that definition. Same goes for economics.

So instead of defining economics, you should be defining narrowed disciplines within it: the study of prices and profits (microeconomics), the study of national income, inflation, and unemployment (macroeconomics), the study of wealth distribution (political economy), etc.

So what is the point in describing how they were dressed? Do you mean to allude that all female atheists dress like hookers? Can you count how many boob jobbed, bikini clad miss America's gave all the glory to Jeebus? I can. It sounds like you are trying to find any small avenue you can find to attack, no matter how meaningless. Do you have an actual question? If you really think we can't see through this you are a wingnut.

Economics is "opportunity cost". Period.

From "opportunity cost", all other theories derive (e.g. Supply & Demand, etc).
