No, seriously. I can't imagine the last guy thinking about how the anthropic principle interacts with their SI and the displacees in her care. You're doing exactly the kind of deep delving that's led us to some of our best ideas.

Which might be why they dropped out after writing one scene -- they just didn't mesh well with the rest of the writing team.

(Although maybe an NPC manager? Hm. I'd have to bring it up with the other writers, but I'm kind of inclined to think that the kind of person who would do that isn't the kind of person who'd get recruited. I mean, I can't imagine an Evangelical Christian would even accept working for Funtom, let alone the multi-pantheon effort; I think a certain flexibility about religion is necessary to be a manager.)

While we haven't had any proselytizing by building managers yet, Cassiopée at the Montreal residence doesn't like how organized religion held Quebec back for decades, and she's said as much while speaking with her resident Christians.

And then there's Harley Waters, in Florida. It's mentioned in passing in the Remembrance Day story that building manager Harley and resident Kaji disagree on at least one political matter, and our very first story has a bit where Jenny Everywhere was recruited to conduct Harley's job interview because the Celestials didn't want to lie to him even by omission about their nature. We've never actually said what if anything Harley believes, though.

So it's possible... but, so far, it's rare.

EDIT: Come to think of it, if your residence does end up in Manhattan, it might be fun to somehow connect your SI to Moishe.

Granted, "defined" isn't the same as "shown".
