The Covenant waging war symbolizes the Crusades, and how zealots misinterpret religion.It is not hating religion. Also, a very important reference you forgot is Master Chief as Jesus, sacrificing himself and returning again at Judgement.
That role fits both the Arbiter and the Chief (Hint: Thel is crucified, "dies," returns some days later as the religious savior of his civilization.)
Arbiter is the religious Jesus by dispelling the lies that ignorance has blinded the people with (killing Truth) and ushers in a new age of religious thought, MC is the warrior Jesus that fights the manipulator anti-christ (Gravemind) in Revelation. The two make a whole.
Really Halo is one of the deepest games I've ever seen, second being Bioshock (though I've never played it)
