hmmm... I can see that the church looks quite obviously like a christian church, and there are references to "a calendar based on anicent religion which no longer exist" which is actually the christian based calendar we use now...
But I'm quite doubting the theory about the gate of hell and devil stuff... I think Dante and Hohenheim are clearly shown working for the christian-like religion rather than against it... of course you may say that the witch hunt is actually done by the devil manipulating the christians or something I guess... but anyway alchemy can be used and is used for good cause in the anime. And I still think the gate is more like a gate to the land of dead and rebirth, as hinted by the mark of uroboros, which represents the cycle of life and death, the cycle of reincarnation. and there are the crying souls inside. and that babies can open the gate most easily.
There was also a sign of the tree of life/sephirotic tree in episode 2 I think...
