Theres also a fair amount of Buddhism mixed in the Matrix ... more specifically the idea that the world is not real, and that anybody can find enlightenment through belief. But I guess since we dont have a "Buddhist Science Monitor" in this country we get a lot more observations on Christian "Wester Religion" themes. Theres a good essay about Buddhism, Gnosticism and Christianity on the Matrix website...
Thats Gnu/sticism, darn it!
