Christianity
The case which the name of the 12 apostle is given to
Equipment designated with the names of the 12 Apostles and the Lord
The Zohar Emulators, which the Kukai Foundation maintains, are being stored inside the Durandal's isolation hangar. There are 13 storage cases in that isolation hangar, and a name has been engraved on each: Peter, Andrew, Boanerges, Thomas, John, Philip, Matthew, Bartholomew, James, Thaddaeus, Simon, Judas, and finally 'Marienkind' (meaning 'child of Mary', namely, Jesus Christ). It is difficult to consider that these names were assigned as a mere hobby from within the Kukai Foundation. This is because Jr and Gaignun and the others are not fanatical Christians, and conversely even if they were, they are not names that would be used from the hobby. If there weren’t a connection with the Zohar, then there would be no motive for these names to be used.
The Zohar Emulators are being stored in the cases on which the names of these 12 Apostles were affixed; and perhaps the storage shell that was named 'Marienkind' is something that was meant to house the Original Zohar.
The Cross
In the U-TIC Organization's military base, Pleroma, there is a Cross, which indicates that this is a place involved in Christianity. Also, it is confirmed that both of the U-TIC organization's officers, Commander Margulis and Vice-Commander Pellegri, were wearing an accessory of the Cross. And also, it is the same with Nephilim who lives in the imaginary number domain.
It is not thought that those who wear this kind of fashion have chosen foolish behavior.
The current state of Christianity
As for present times, not even a single relevance between the current state of Christianity and the Zohar is being brought to light. But still, because of the afore-mentioned situation, the possibility that there is that kind of connection cannot be denied. Also, it is the same with the connection between the U-TIC Organization and Christianity.
One thing to be said for certain: the more that Christianity is referred to as an ancient religion, the less of it has survived intact.

Buddhism
The restoration of the custom of the ancient religion
Ancient religion
Evidenced by the subject of the telephone call between Shion and her brother Jin, is can be understood that Buddhism has changed into an ancient religion.
Jin spoke the word, "houji" {~"memorial"}, and Shion responded by calling it a "revival of an ancient religion's custom."
A "houji" is something from Buddhism where an anniversary memorial service for the dead is performed. It was a popular practice that was held every 7 days during the first 49 days, and then after that, on each anniversary of the death.
Shion was indicating that Jin knew the activities of this kind of religion by means of books, but the grave of their parents was a Buddhist creation. Because Jin's garments are Japanese clothes, and because he assumed a posture in which he joined his hands in front of the tombstone, it is considered that not everything of the ancient religion of Buddhism has been forgotten.
"Namu Amida Butsu" {~"Mano Amitabha", ~"Blessed Buddha"}
Both Tony and Hammer of the crew of the Elsa exhibit a Buddhist influence. When they fell into a critical situation, and also when they witnessed something that may have been a departed spirit, they spontaneously acted by putting their hands together as if praying to Buddha.
It has also been confirmed that [Tony] spoke aloud the words, "nan-man-dabu."
This phrase, "nan-man-dabu", is a speech-accent of "Namu Amida Butsu". "Namu Amida Butsu", which has the meaning "devotion to Amitabha", uses Japanese kanji characters that are phonetically equivalent substitute characters of the phrase from the original Sanskrit language. In that Sanskrit language, it holds a deeper meaning akin to, "I follow the light of the shimmering Vast-Limitlessness," and when spoken, it can be explained that they are words that mean "I lend my ear to the teaching of Buddha, and I abide by it".
Thus, due to the fact that there remains words which establish a completely Buddhist thought, what rises to the surface is a current state in which Buddhism, even though it is an ancient religion, has not been severed from memory. In other words, is Shion illiterate and ignorant concerning religion, or is she just indifferent? It is perhaps natural to consider that she makes use of the expression "ancient religion" to her brother Jin for some other reason.
Ultimately, in present day, Buddhism has also taken root among people, the same as Christianity.

God as a General Idea What is God?
As for the faith, the object of worship is asked for
God as the general idea of a transcendental existence
In faith, an object of worship is sought out and a general concept worthy of worship is created. Power is given by the thing that one requests to and is raised by those who worship. That the concept of God is one that becomes something absolute, sacred and transcendental is because the hearts of the people who worship it are seeking out that kind of existence.
Depending on the age and area, there have existed very human-like gods. For example, in the original Greek myths, even while existing as an existence separate from humans and possessing tremendous physical clout, the gods' actions were just like those of humans and even the idea of half-breeds between the gods and humans was conceived. For this age and area of land, this kind of god was ideal as an object of worship.
In another age and another land there was a faith called animism in which it was thought that a soul resided in all things in the world of nature and all things created artificially. This is not the idea that there is a single absolute existence that controls everything, but rather it is the construction of a whole system of the relationships of various affairs in which by creating relations that have gained harmony in each individual the harmony of the whole is preserved. In addition, each person depending on both the time and the necessity will worship the image that they feel to be closest to themselves. Furthermore, in the case of the creation of an absolute single entity,everything is devoted to it and the idea to wish for a simplified, firm ideology and community consciousness is born. Based on that, an absolute god existence that is stronger than anything, surpasses everything, and is more just than anything was born. This kind of self-righteous existence produces an imperialism of thought and an antagonistic relationship with many other gods and is the origin that gave rise to riots.
Peace and God
In order to acquire peace of the heart, the existence of God was sought out. This does not always signify a peace with a useful meaning. It is not a repudiation of conflict. That is the tranquility of the heart that occurs in the confrontation with the world for the believers. When one thinks of the state after death, one feels an unbearable uneasiness at the thought of the end where the self goes that people do not know of. In contrast to a life of only turning toward that uneasiness and getting closer to it, one embraces nothingness (close to word for nihilism) and despair. In order to give meaning and significance to this meaningless, dark life, an existence of light that shines on our lives becomes necessary. That is a thought that is the general concept of God. By being illuminated with that light meaning is born into life and one can run from the nothingness and despair. Death is given meaning and accepting it is no longer nihilistic. This gives birth to the tranquility of the heart.
Consequently, in order to protect this tranquility of the heart, it becomes possible to conduct a war without fearing death. Sacrificing one's life in order to protect the existence that grants one the tranquility of the heart becomes a magnificent act. In an unstable life without meaning it is proper to accept a death with meaning. To someone who believes in a single, absolute existence, accepting other gods is unforgivable. If one is a person who knows religion as the metaphor of confrontation between the world and oneself, one realizes that this confrontation is only the difference of individual tastes but if one hopes to take the metaphor as reality one cannot recognize this difference. This is because if one recognizes it, the world one believes in will crumble.
God as Creator
An existence in the position of creation understands all of its creations. Just as the original developer of KOS-MOS knows KOS-MOS' functions. Just as only Vector Industries, which has monopolized the production of the central device of realians, knows about the inside of the blackbox. In the relationship between the one who creates and the one who is created, a complete master and servant relationship is born.
In the change from the age when the story-like world view that the human body was created by God was common sense to the age when it was explained that it was created by genetics, the words that spoke of God have been translated to the words that speak of genetics. A body that is molded by God turned into a body that is molded by genetics. The fate that God gave us became the primary factor of inherited genes and the probability of its manifestation. The action of healing an illness by praying to God changed to gene therapy. Giving birth for the sake of maintaining a cooperative body that would praise God became an animal-like action for the sake of continuing the genes.
One who knows everything
Power/authority is born from information. When information runs dry, power is lost. Power is maintained by obtaining information. It has become clear that information regulation is the essential job that supports the basis of authority for most organizations trying to establish a nation.
With that meaning, the general concept of a God that grasps the entire world becomes an existence that possesses absolute authority. This means that there is nothing it does not know and nothing else can be allowed to access that knowledge.
This sacred existence supports God's absolute authority. Upon entering the age in which God and genes were talked about as analogous concepts, naturally ideology trying to protect that authority against genes was born.
This came to be expressed in the words "that is God's domain." This surely has the meaning that genes are standing in the position of God. It is bringing out the concept of God and accepting handling God and genes on the same level. Their expression aimed to recognize the existence of God as an absolute thing and moreover withdraw the value of genes. However, in the first place, to the person thinking in the position of the characters that appeared in the story of God, it was taken as an expression withdrawing the concept of God toward an existence that can apply the physical treatment called genes (I don't understand this sentence).
The aims of both sides disagreed with each other and, while using the same words, these words that they fired from completely different standpoints did not reach each others hearts following parallel lines, and thus the lack of understanding and ignoring continued; despite it one continued to believe in one's own correctness, deny the other side and it became aggressive, developing into terrorism. Humans are all a childish existence. They are a decisive, self-righteous, stupid existence.
In order to guide this kind of existence, while paradoxical, the existence of God is necessary. That which guides. That is one who can gaze at the future. Just as it has been necessary for various gods to be born from the unease people feel from the future, if there exists someone who can erase the unease of the future, the people obey that person. In addition, by being regulated by only one existence, the people compose one conclusion and become self-righteous or it will bring about a totalitarian, profitable peace. Whether or not that is happiness is a separate issue.

U-TIC Organization
U-TIC organization is not ordinary armament organization
The Song of Nephilim Apparatus
A gigantic ‘key device’ that Dr. Joachim Mizrahi prepared in order to create the 100 series observational realians. It is in the condition of being buried beneath the courtyard of the serious nervous disorder hospital on Miltia, and the top part of it forms the surface of the courtyard.
At the present time it is not clear what the technical relationship between the apparatus that produces the ‘Song of Nephilim’ that drives the U.R.T.Vs insane and the plant that develops 100 series realians is.
The reason that the Song of Nephilim is written down in history as an existence of fear lies in the Miltian Conflict. During the time of the Miltian Conflict, the Song of Nephilim was played by Dr. Sellers and U-DO went on a rampage. Because of this, the U.R.T.V.s, which are the anti existence of U-DO, were negatively influenced.
It is called ‘The Song’ because the U.R.T.V.s perceive ‘it’ as a song-like melody. ‘The Song’ cannot be perceived by humans. To begin with, it is not a physical sound in the form of air vibrations. It is like a special wave that the U.R.T.V.s can perceive with their special abilities. The effects of this ‘song’ are not limited to whether one can or cannot perceive it. Just as it is said that “it drives all unto madness,” it exerts the influence of something on even those who cannot perceive it. However, there is no information left behind as to what that effect is.
After the Miltian Conflict, the U-TIC Organization kept The Song of Nephilim apparatus as a weapon. Because of this, in response to the actions of Albedo who was supposed to get the Y-data from MOMO by planning to kidnap her, Commander Margulis makes a statement recognizing its use.
