Were there any religious sentiments in Maratha movement? Was that against Mughals or against Muslims?

Intial defiance was against Kingdom of Bijapur, whose subject pune was then, Shivaji’s father, Shahji was commander of Bangalore fort, though Shivaji remained in Pune under her mother’s guidance. Movement was due to maratha pride, it was ethno-religious in nature.
