Or maybe like plain Jewish religion stuff
Don't marry outside your tribe/nation/religion
Don't have any other Gods/idols/icons/leaders
There is only one spokesman/prophet of God
Any questioning, murmuring or grumbling will be punished harshly
Give your first and best to the God/org/leadership
Constant ritual events recalling great events of the past
Claiming to be a special people
Reinforcing a group identity based on past suffering and/or special future
IMO most any human org meets some number of aspects of the list, so there is no reason to just point out Christianity.
