    Evangelion is not Christian, and makes no commentary on religion. The only connection Eva has with religion is that Anno wanted exotic sounding terms, and he borrowed them from Chritianity and Judaism, among a few others. Literally the whole reason there is religious imagery is because Anno “thought it looked cool.”

      It’s quite literally more canonically accurate than Dante’s Inferno.

        Whether it is accurate or not is not important. The context of the religious imagery and content in Evangelion is purely for aesthetics.
