Katy Perry's childhood was "just the Jesus train".
The 'Teenage Dream' singer - who is expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom - was raised by Christian pastors who ran a ministry from their home and she feels her upbringing centred only around "pure bible thumping", with no time for curiosity.
She said: "My childhood was just the Jesus train. It wasn't expansive and it wasn't curious, it was just Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday evening; Jesusjesusjesusjesusjesusjesusjesus.
"From birth, it was pure bible thumping.."
While Katy has been open about undergoing therapy, she admitted it was considered taboo in her household and people didn't express their feelings.
She told The Guardian newspaper: " 'But Jesus cures all! By his stripes, you are healed! I'm sorry if your fingers are falling off but God will heal it.'
"It's like, if you don't have real intense true faith, then you're not the best Christian."
