Evangelion is also guilty of having some similarities with other shows actually. It isn't as original as people make it out to be. But of course, similarites between RahXephon and Evangelion are pretty obvious with one glaring exception: the main direction.
No need for spoiler caps, I presume, so I'll just plainly say it. RahXephon is essentially a love story. NGE isn't. The other is more of a psychological drama with a fair share of plot twists and symbolisms. NGE uses Judeo-Christian motifs and symbols; RahXephon uses art, music and Mayan myth. One can also try arguing that both are somewhat Freudian or Lacanian in nature.
