I dont think religion is a big factor.
I think you underestimate how large the rift between Sunni and Shiite Islam is.

Every religious minority group in Syria supports the Assad regime for a reason. Assad is an Alawite Shia Muslim. They are a religious minority and require cooperation from the country's large Christian, Sufi and Druz populations. If McCain and the neoconservatives have their way and Assad was deposed, ISIS or Jabat Al-Nusra would wipe out these religious minorities without blinking. Anyone who thinks the region is more stable with Assad gone has no comprehension of the political realities in the cauldron that is Syria.
