I saw this post earlier and it's been bothering me. Even if The Handmade's Tale was based on another religion, how would it be relevant?
Christians would feel a tiny bit better that they're not the villains in the movie
It matters if you're incapable of processing abstraction properly.
If you're a mindless tribalist, the "tribe" it's based on is the thing that maters the most, and for some of those their tribe or at least and important part of its identity is a specific religion (often it's even a specific sect within a major religion).
If you actually use your brain for thinking (instead of just as a cranium filling mass that keep it from collapsing into a vacuum) then it is indeed irrelevant the religion The Handmaid's Tale is based on.
