Morpheus has faith, and perhaps Trinity, but that's about it. And even that faith is not a religion. Prophecies don't make a religion.
Essentially Neo is the savior of the people, with the Arhitect as God and the Oracle is Mary (in a sense, she was a co-God),
Ah, but at best, those are artistic analogies with Christianity (Messiah, comming back from the dead, etc).
Isn't prayer a way that people try to control religion? (Or in a more cyncical sense people donated gobs of money.)
Believe it or not, prayer is not a way to control God and get him to do what you want. God is under no obligation to listen to you. Prayer essentially a conversation, and many also see it as *submission* to God. So actually prayer would be the opposite of controlling.
