I have a question. What are your thoughts of the mention of religion, specifically Christianity, in this book?

As someone who practices religion but not Christianity, I cannot tell/decide what is the intonation behind the very Christian values that were portrayed in this book. What was the pupose of making Natalie and her family a very Christian family? Was the author trying to mock the "extreme" side of religion? If you are a Christian, how did you feel reading this book?

I feel like this book has a lot of ambiguity in regards to Natalie's character. One example I can think of is, Natalie's mum is a very Christian woman, and one of her advices was "Pretend that someone is consistently watching you so you'll always do your best". I personally genuinely cannot decide if this is good advice or a harmful one.

Please let me know your thoughts as I am very curious!
