personally i think it was. the fact light wanting to change the world and become the new god. that right there was what made me think. because the author said that light wanted to become the new god shows that the author might believe in god. and the fact that if you use the death note you cannot go to heaven or hell. and i think in the end of the last episode in the credits it showed L behind the stairs wearing the halo thing on his head. so i would say yes
Actually, he's making his own authoritarian religion

yes i know, however its not much different to the other religions, there many examples like Noe and the arc i mean eho do you think destroyed those people? however you have to admit those people did deserve it for disblieving in God and turning away
if you look at it this way, all religions are basically the same. So if Light is making his won religion, it wouldn't be all that different to many others out there. because 1. he pretends to be god-like (and there is no religion without a god) 2. he tries "save" the world from rotting with sin and 3. he said it himself, "I will be the god of the new owrld. Pretty straight forward if you'll ask me. So conclude that DN is not base on a specfic religion, but rooted on making a new one that the foundation is fear of getting punished.
