No it wasn't religious.
It was an attack on American imperialism. You will note that none of the targets were religious.
The government turned it into a religious war later.
I would argue that:
Yes, America initiated most of the war and turned it into a Christian war effort, but the attack never would have happened if it had not been for religion. Several statements were made by the organization that spawned the suicidal idiots that America didn't fit with Islam.
