Well religion pretty much tells you that you have to love god, or you're a heathen. In that regards you're a hostage.. eventually you do become sympathetic to the religion and the love of God even if it may not make sense. In the end you're preaching the exact same thing you may have been questioning before.

In that sense I believe yes.. Loving God can be similar to Stockholme Syndrome.
