I think Mr. Stackpole is mainly refuting the "Satanic Conspiracy" fear mongering that Mrs. Pulling propogated during that time.
edit to add more to my train of thought.
If the girls mother is against Dungeons and Dragons for reliegious reasons I do not think there is anything that you can say or do to change her mind against it. From a purely biblical Christain point of view D&D is evil due to its content (occultism, magic, demons, worshipping of false gods). UNfortunately due to the bad media attention D&D got during the 80's it has tainted the whole of the role-playing industry to the point (D&D is Role-Playing/Role-Playing is D&D) that people think it is evil as well.
self edit
I guess what I'm trying to say and I'm speaking from experience; you wont be able to get her mother to let your friend play D&D but you might have better luck getting her to let her play a role-playing game, one without the words Dungeons and Dragons in the title. Even then its not likely due to the stigma that resides on the industry as a whole.
