To me the Covenant strongly resembled institutionalized religion, with a clear indication on how it's not the greatest thing in the world.
The Master Chief wasn't so much a "savior," as he never did anything alone. Yeah, he was lucky, but he didn't take the Covenant on all by himself. A "heretic" and his band of like-minded free-thinkers helped.
The Flood could be seen as any evil that threatens mankind. Hell, the Sumerians and Mesopotamians had the same Flood myth that Christians and Hebrews have, granted there are some differences.
The Forerunners aren't gods, we know this from completing the games. They're more an ancient civilization, worshiped by fools living a lie (the Covenant.)
If anything, the Precursors were the "gods," but the notion of multiple gods certainly isn't a Christian one.
I think your wrong. Sorry but I do not believe that Bungie were trying to say that Master Chief and a bunch of "free-thinkers" *smashed* religion. I go with the previously stated theory that the Covenant represent the Jews and Master Chief did not destroy the faith and salvation of the Halo's but rather (like Our Lord with the old testament) perfected it.
