Oh God yes.

I hate, hate, HATE religion in anything Japanese. It's either disgustingly ham-fisted and pandering, or so unidentifiable you wonder why it was even there.

It just feels, for lack of a better term, "tryhard" when Japanese stuff tries to create Christian alegories. Usually that just means throwing in the imagery of an angel and someone mentoning "God." There's a bit more to Christianity than that, guys.
