No, it was not a religious trial except for the fact that Mary was Catholic and Elizabeth what we now call Episcopalian, or Anglican. Religion played a role in the trial but this was not defiance of established doctrine- as with, say Joan of Arc. Politics and religio-politics were the deciding factors. She was executed because of the threat to the throne she posed.
