Unless all you have watched of Evangelion is the battle scenes (wait a minute you can see 'em in those too!) you have realized that EVA has many religious undertones.

| First of all lets look at the title Neon Genesis (Shin Seiki) Evangelion. It literally means The New Age Gospel. | Who is the earth's enemy? Angels. And how were they named? The Sephrodic Tree. | How must the third impact occur? With the NERV losing the Spear of Loginus, SEELE uses the Tree of Life! |

| The EVAs resemble demons that were noted in the new testament. One had only one eye (EVA-00). One had massive teeth and an evil smile (EVA-01). One has four eyes and was red, the color of blood and war (EVA-02). And finally one was black and was the sign of death and remained silent (EVA-03). | Have you ever notices those little words under the NERV logo that this page is names after? "God's In His Heaven. All's right with the world." | Did you notice that both Satchiel and Zuriel shoot energy beams that look like crosses. In fact they are the only ones to actually penetrate the GeoFront (yeah I know Kaworu was there but he was let in and technically Satchiel penetrated it though I don't think he knew it was there ^_^ ) Also just ironic that both were killed by EVA-01 going beserk. |

| In Rebirth EVA-02 launches and forms a massive cross beam as does EVA-01 in End of Evangelion. | Now its not much but Misato always is wearing that cross around her neck. | SEELE's logo contains nine eyes. These nine eyes represents the nine eyes of god. |

| Noticed that little design in Gendo's office, take a close look at this and tell me there ain't nothing religious about this. | Evangelion are referred to as EVA. The literal German translation of EVA is "EVE." The EVA was born out of Adam as Eve was in the old testament. | And of course the Spear of Loginus (the spear used to kill Christ in the new testament) is piercing Lillith on a cross (as was the crusifiction of Jesus he was pierced in the breat upon a cross.) |
Its also kinda funny if you think about how the Japanese don't exactly like the Christian faith very much, *just a generalization due to analyzation of history* they are fighting angels. Some people I have actually heard refer to NGE as completely "tearing apart the Christian faith." Now I don't share that view *mostly because I belong to another of the world's four major religions* but a bunch of people do feel that way.
