Addison, 21, shared a picture of herself posing in clothing company Praying’s “Holy Trinity” bikini on Tuesday.

And while Addison’s photo only captured her top half, several Instagram users were quick to label the garment “disrespectful” and “messed up” in the comments, per Page Six.

As for the brand itself, Praying’s Instagram page has since been flooded with comments demanding that the site be shut down entirely due to its “disrespectful” garments.

Sharing a photo of Christina Aguilera posing in the French version of Addison’s bikini, Praying wrote, “Gonna get dirty,” a reference to the singer's famous 2002 hit.

But some people were left unimpressed with the image as they labeled the bikini “classless.” “Please remove this and stop disrespecting my religion and my God. This is another level of classless,” one person wrote.

Praying has yet to address all the backlash, but many on social media appear more uncomfortable than ever with their Christianity-themed designs.
