You're right, there is a whole history here, one of which only dribs and drabs have percolated through to LJ. It's an interesting question, though, and deserving of its own post.
Lara and Zhivago's guilt over their affair is never really cast in religious terms. There's a lot of talk about "duty", but the context seems to be social. And he genuinely loves her and feels tormented about betraying her. Same goes for her and her husband.
