Other than the Fate series, "Record of Ragnarok", and "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" What others besides these?

NGE's more skewed towards ~~Rabbinic~~ Kabbalah Judaism. Still Abrahamic though.

I’d say it skews towards Kabbalah, which is Jewish Mysticism. The sefirot/ tree of life even shows up End of Evangelion. But then again

spoiler?Lilith being crucified below NERV HQ
seems like a pretty clear Jesus allegory!

Yep, got my flavours of Judaism mixed-up.
