A:Scholars regard the Book of Esther as a second-century-BCE Jewish novel that was not originally intended as a religious text, so it contains no mention of God. A later version of the Book of Esther, still in use by the Roman Catholic Church, contains additions that do mention God.

Zero.
No, she is not from the same lineage as Jesus. According to Rabbinic literature Esther was an orphan, her father died before her birth and her mother died when Esther was born. She was raised in her cousin Mordiecai's house. There is a building known as the tomb of 'Esther and Mordechai' in Hamadan Iran so maybe Esther did exist.
A:The Book of Esther does not mention God or prayer in its standard version. Additions to the Book of Esther regarded by the Catholic Church as 'inspired' do mention prayer, but these are not really part of the original novel.
The first step is to define what Esther is not. The Book of Esther is not religious, because it does not even mention God*, so it is not a scripture. It is clearly not a genuine work of history, because there are too many historical errors and there are good reasons to believe that Esther and Mordacai never really lived.Broadly, the Book of Esther is historical fiction. It is a period novel.Footnote* The Latin Vulgate contains additional material that mentions God, and which Jerome acknowledged as late, Christian interpolations.
