Coincidence or something more?

Jesus worked as a blue collar carpenter.
Manning wears a blue uniform at work.

Jesus said "break this bread."
Manning said "Cut that meat."

Jesus was the son of God.
Manning is the son of a Saint.

Jesus was part of the Trinity.
Manning was part of the Triplets.

OUCH, Smoke! LOL

Jesus said "He who is without sin, cast the first rock"
Peyton said "He who is without sin, take the first sack"

Like Jesus, Manning went into his father's trade, and didn't do anything much until he was 30.

Jesus' brother was James "the Just". Manning's brother is "Just" Eli.

Jesus lived an itinerant, traveling lifestyle with a small communal band including a reformed prostitute, preaching love and repentence.

Manning plays 8 games outside the home dome each year and usually repents playing them.

Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers, but then got crucified
Manning turned the tables on the Pats in last years AFCCG. WTF did you THINK would happen next?

The only religious thing about Manning is some religions sacrifice sheep and sheep sacrifice themselves to Manning.
