There are churches/religious groups that do not approve of taking oaths or vows. There are churches/religious groups that do not approve of the secrecy involved in the oaths or vows of most GLO. There are churches/religious groups that do not approve of the philosophies that (as they understand them) underlie Freemasonry, and that as a result have problems with GLOs to the extent that there is any a sonic influence in them. And there are churches/religious groups that have a problem with the Greek mythology that pays a ritualistic role in many GLOs, seeing it as idolatry or syncretism rather than metaphor or symbolism.

Yes, there are Christian (or Jewish) influences in many GLOs, and there are specifically-Christian GLOs. There are still some religious groups that might have problems with fraternity or sorority membership.
