It was the English Army who burned her, not any Church. However, it is true that L'Enfant (title given to the Prince of France) who sold her to the English Army and the Anglican Church with the approval of the Catholic Church.
Pick any of the parties involved in the war, and you will be correct, because all the parties share the same degree of guilt.

The English burned Joan, who was French.
At the time, both the English and the French were Catholic, but they happened to be at war with one another.
The English crown wished her to be executed, and the English church hierarchy went along and provided the necessary grounds for her execution.
Just another case of man's inhumanity to man.
Of course, God successfully sorted everything out, afterwards.

You be the Judge;
In 1430 she was captured by the Burgundians while defending Compiegne near Paris and was sold to the English. The English, in turn, handed her over to the ecclesiastical court at Rouen led by Pierre Cauchon, a pro-English Bishop of Beauvais, to be tried for witchcraft and heresy. Much was made of her insistence on wearing male clothing. She was told that for a woman to wear men's clothing was a crime against God. Her determination to continue wearing it (because her voices hadn't yet told her to change, as well as for protection from sexual abuse by her jailors) was seen as defiance and finally sealed her fate. Joan was convicted after a fourteen-month interrogation and on May 30, 1431 she was burned at the stake in the Rouen marketplace. She was nineteen years old. Charles VII made no attempt to come to her rescue.

The way I've always seen it. It wasn't a religion that did this to her, it was a country of scared people. England's fools who were frightened of her and her leadership were the ones who killed her. I'm sure they used religion as an excuse but any excuse would have been just as good.
Heck they could have circumvented the religious reasons and went straight to the heart of it. They could have simply said "we don't like Frenchmen, let's kill her"! and that would have been just as acceptable.

No religion is a man (or woman, for that matter) and likewise, no man or woman is a religion. What are you REALLY trying to ask here (as if it isn't already clear)? Why don't you just ask and stop trying to sugarcoat your derrogation?

I honestly don't think it was a Religion.
She is a Beatified Saint in the Catholic Faith.
Peace!

LOL Christians. But I think they made it up to her and made her a Saint. I'm not sure though I don't remember.
