If it's a Protestant sect I wouldn't be surprised. It's probably not intentional as the Protestants I know of and grew up around simply lack the doctrinal knowledge, but in practice there's a distinct gnostic undercurrent. The body and the world is nasty, broken, etc.
In Christianity the soul and body are not separable. You can't have a female soul in a male body; you are your body. Gnostics get out! REEE!

Granted this could be a low-church thing.
The opposite. The Catholics I know hardly know anything about the Gospel
