Christian viewpoints vary widely, so don't put us all in the same box. (A pet peeve of mine when people assume all Christians believe/feel exactly the same things and act the same way.)
Your T's religion will probably never enter into your therapy in any way unless you've landed yourself with a therapist who advertises as a Christian therapist and is very in your face about it. Personally, I'm a Christian, and even I would run like heck from that kind of therapist.
I saw a licensed pastoral counselor for several years. He was actually the pastor of my church and a very good therapist, but even he never brought religion into our sessions.
So just because a person is Christian doesn't mean it will enter into your therapy. Contrary to popular belief, not all Christians spend their time trying to convert people and judge every person they encounter who is "different" as some sort of heathen. Most of us are pretty nice, non- judgemental, normal human beings. We leave our haloes at the door. (My apologies for my sarcasm. Did I mention this is a pet peeve of mine?).
My current therapist is Christian. I only know that because of a few conversations we've had that I initiated concerning my own relationship to my own church. He never interjected his own views although I'm guessing we are pretty closely aligned because of the particular church he mentioned attending.
