Gwen Stefani has divided her fanbase after promoting Catholic prayer app Hallow.
The No Doubt singer, 55, recently partnered with the popular prayer and meditation app to encourage people to pray over the holiday period.
'Christmas season has always been my favorite time of the year. It's the season that we get to celebrate the birth of our Lord,' she says in a promotional video.
'Join me and millions of other Christians around the world as we celebrate together the truth that God so loved the world that he gave us his only son.
While a lot fans have supported Gwen's public embrace of her faith, others criticized the Hollaback Girl hitmaker for the religious venture.
'Trad wife transformation complete,' wrote one, while another commented, 'What the hell is this!'
'I'm just going to tell myself this is AI and continue with my life,' wrote a third.
A fourth added, 'Gwen, I've loved you since I was eight years old back in the Tragic Kingdom days. I understand your faith is important to you but this is seriously cringe.'

Another commented, 'Who is this and what have you done with the real Gwen?!! This cannot be real. Not only she just makes music to match her husband's but now she seems like such a Republican.'
Despite the backlash, plenty of fans jumped in to defend Gwen and pointed out that she's always been open about her religious convictions.
'Gwen has ALWAYS been a religious person. This is nothing new. She's just more vocal about it now,' wrote one.
'Y'all do know Catholics are Christians, right? Stefani is Italian. What Italians do y'all know who aren't Catholic??' added a second.
A third wrote, 'I really feel the need to defend her here! Gwen has always been open about her faith. She was raised Catholic and if anything her faith is part of why her and Blake fell for each other.'
It comes after Gwen said that her relationship with country star Blake Shelton was a 'miracle' after her heartbreaking split from ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
The No Doubt frontwoman got candid about how her perspective on love has changed over time in an interview with People magazine.
She also said she felt protective of her three children after her Gavin split.

'The last four years of my life, I got engaged, then I got married and started my life over. Something that I wanted since I was a little girl is to be married and have this love that I saw my parents have and have babies,' she gushed.
Referring to her failed relationship with Rossdale, 59 - who were together for a total of 19 years prior to their 2015 divorce - she added: 'That dream was completely ruined, it was crushed, and I had to figure out how I was going to move forward and make a new dream.'
Her whole world turned around later in 2015 when she began to romance Shelton, eventually marrying him in 2021, to which she said, 'God putting Blake in my life was just that miracle.'
The pop star and her ex-husband dated for six years prior to saying 'I do' in 2002. During the course of their thirteen year marriage, they welcomed sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10.
