Well, in the case of Camelot, you would be hard pressed to extricate the Judeo-Christian aspect, since much of the King Arthur legend is steeped in it. The Holy Grail was only one piece of the legend, and that particular one they did somehow manage to remove the Christian empasis.

Similar with Robin Hood, since most legends relate to the time of English involvement in the Crusades. Also, you have Friar Tuck, an unorthodox Orthodox priest, that is part of the band of Merry Men.

And, of course, the show borrows extensively from European Culture appropriate to the stories told, and much of that culture is going to be influenced (rather heavily) by the Roman Catholic church, since much of Europe was ruled by the Holy Roman Empire (and therefore indirectly the Holy Catholic Church) from around 800 until it's final dissolution in the 1800's (though much of the influcence was diminished in the 1500's). Many of the Coats of Arms for the Royal and Noble houses included representations of their Christian Heritage.

So there is not what I would consider an overt indication of any Judeo Christian religion in Once.

Also, Gaston addresses Hades as "Lord Hades", which did not sound at all like addressing someone that was a deity, but more just the title given for a ruler. (I know, that's just one example, and does not make a solid case, but I present it as support)
