YES!! Me too! Even many New Age channels, flavor their channelings with their Christian backgrounds.
Another thing that stood out, and impressed me so much about the Law of One, was that it wasn't flavored (distorted) by any such religious programming.

You're right; it is the 'Abrahamic' religions that tend to do that. The difference is only in degree and whether it's directly or indirectly. Most Christians would never directly engage in terrorist acts, but don't see the contradiction when they support such acts indirectly, by supporting war.
I know a person who was raised with strict Christian dogma. Recently they have come to disbelieve all religion. What hasn't left this person is the dogmatic way of looking at the world. The judgements are still there. The inclination that their view is the only one that is correct is still there. Only, now, it seems the dogma is toward an inclination for war and hatred for "terrorists". Basically, the idea that all religious extremists should be met with extreme measures.
I don't have a reason for telling you this, other that it is something I am currently observing. It does show that our view, to continue with love, isn't the only alternative to realizing religion isn't entirely "truth".
