Even if it was planned from the begining, it's still mostly meaningless window dressing. Hideaki Anno stated that the religious symbolism was mostly meaningless and was used as a device to make the show unique. Remember that only like 2% of the Japanese population is christian so most of this stuff is meaningless to them anyway. It's just something extra to make the show cool. It was western audiences who assigned more depth to the show than was actually there.


That's not true, Anno had it planned to have religious symbolism not to make it different but to make the story go around it!

 At the Otakon anime convention held in 2001, assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki (who was the director of The End of Evangelion: Episode 25' Air - while Anno personally undetook The End of Evangelion: Episode 26' Sincerely Yours and acted as Chief Director) 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
