KC is Japanese. I doubt he really gives any thought to Christianity either way other that some of its iconography is cool and different to the average Japanese person. Just like Asian cultures are often seen in the west. "The church" as bad guys is a common enough trope in games (both tabletop and RPGs). MGE is pretty much a sexualized porn JRPG. Where instead of death or some bad end you end up with a loving wife.

He has openly said that the order and the setting itself is a metaphor for Japanese culture itself. Monsters represent the ultimate freedom vs a highly repressive culture where individualism is crushed for the greater good of the whole. In a real life example people are expected to work themselves to the point of exhaustion and potentially dropping dead at their desks (a thing that has happened multiple times in Japan).
