Putting God aside, the treaties are their bible. They have been varied several times by member agreement and this negotiation allows the same opportunity.
In that metaphorical context, they are punishing the UK for its "heresy" - for wanting to leave their poxy Union. Do you agree with their desire to punish us? Macron's words to be taken literally.

If you mean ideological then use the word ideological.
They are still negotiating according to the EU rules, which has nothing to do with ideology or theology. Theoretically they could change the rules, but with 27 countries standing behind those rules they have no reason to change them for a country that wishes to leave the union under which those rules apply.
