Otakon 2001, assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki was asked directly what relvance Christianity had to Evangelion. This was his reply:
Tsurumaki: There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.
The show is in now way meant to be anti-christian, any anti-christian ideas are brought on from the viewer, not the show.
Any show can have different meanings good and bad based on the viewers point of view its simple...
