It sounds to me like you have a therapist whose religious beliefs and yours do not match. That's not bad or wrong or evil or "sinful" :-) but does not sound helpful to you in understanding yourself in your own worldview.

We all have our own worldview, just as we have our own personalities and God-given, if you will, individuality. Sometimes our religious views come close to matching with others' and sometimes they are at extreme odds. If you are in psychotherapy with someone of a religious bent, who includes religion in their therapeutic stance, you probably should find someone with as close a religious worldview as your own, just as you have to find an emotional and psychological personality in the therapist that is agreeable to your own?
