Don't all blood based religions share that trait in common? The idea of a non-sacrificial theology challenges and threatens every aspect of Christian thinking and erodes the idea of sinfulness and the sacrifices that must be made to atone.
Any religion that can offer a sense of wholeness and wellbeing without sacrifice really points up the illogicality of the Abrahamic faiths which are all based on some form of destruction of another for the purpose of sacrifice. They offer a more wholesome alternative that would have to be supremely challenging.

All Abrahamic faiths should believe in the God of Abraham.
Gen. 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Jehovah-jireh which means the lord WILL provide because it is where Abraham said the lord would provide himself a lamb.
