The religious/spiritual nature of the work that Addams did is one of the more common themes in Christianity of "helping your neighbor". Addams came from a time when Christianity was prevelant, and I believe that it was said that she was a Quaker. I believe that she took much of that to heart when she decided on opening up her houses. And I think that combining her devotion and the almost literal translation from one of the core tenets of Christianity, it is hard to make the case that she wouldn't be religiously motivated.
