Kat Herrera was indirectly influenced by Christianity through her grandparents. Her grandmother on her father's side was evangelical, while both of her grandparents on her mother's side were Christian. As a child, Kat was pressured to attend church by her grandparents, but her parents were not devout and did not force her. She had some exposure to Christianity through praying when sick and attending Catholic school in 6th grade, where she was forced to pray 3 times a day. However, moving to a school dominated by non-religious Americans made her more comfortable without religious rituals. Negative media portrayals of priests also impacted her views of religion. Overall, Kat was not strongly influenced toward Christianity due to her upbringing and environment
