While I do think religious trauma does play a large part in the cinematic universe of ethel cain, I think it'd be best to give credits to the actual focus of the trilogy, the complex relationship between the generations of women.
I always found the lyrics in "family tree (intro)" to highlight that the most, along with ethel's words to her mother in "strangers". One of the best themes, that is hardly done in this light!
in strangers she says that "I (Ethel) never blamed you for loving me the way that you did" implying that there is a level of resentment and complexity that will probably be examined in Preacher's Wife, but ultimately Ethel forgives her.
