My understanding of religious sects that I'm familiar with is that they operate on similar principles, but there are a lot of religions I'm not well versed in, so I wouldn't make the leap from there to the conclusion that all religions are the same way.

I would speculate though, that since humans seem to have some strong innate non-consequentialist impulses, that religions tend to sanctify those impulses as part of divine law or natural order. The non-consequentialism probably doesn't originate with religious reasoning, but religious reasoning probably serves to rationalize non-consequentialist impulses that we already have, and probably contributes to philosophical traditions that expand on them.
