Raised in a strong Christian family, adult Bernadette falls into the category of someone who lacks faith in God and religion, despite the vast knowledge that she has about everything that was taught to her as a child. All three of Rafael's children are familiar with the book; they know what's written in it and what it means. As she grew older, awful things happened to her and her family; she has now strayed further from her original faith, believing that maybe religion is nonsense. She still believes in God, though, being the interesting part.
