Neo is referred to throughout the Matrix trilogy as the One, that is, the chosen one, which also describes Christ—a messiah, sent to deliver salvation. References to Christianity proliferate in the films, and the Matrix films are an allegory for the Christian faith and that Neo is a modern-day Jesus.
As he embraces his role, Neo becomes a Christ figure in the trilogy. Morpheus, the Oracle, and other characters in the Matrix trilogy call Neo “the One,” and they are certain he is the man who will liberate and save them. Several parallels exist between Neo and Christ.
You're my savior, man. My own personal Jesus Christ." A plate in Morpheus's ship Nebuchadnezzar bears the inscription "Mark III No. 11," a probable allusion to the Bible: Mark 3:11 reads, "Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, 'You are the Son of God!' "
Matrixism, or The Path of the One, is a purported religion inspired by Lana & Lilly Wachowski's The Matrix film series. Conceived by an anonymous group in the summer of 2004, it claimed to have attracted 300 members by May 2005, and the religion's Geocities website claimed "over sixteen hundred members".
The two other leads in the Matrix are both religious references. Trinity is the Christian conception of the godhead three-in-one. Morpheus is the Greek god of Dreams. The Oracle is heavily based on the Oracle at Delphi, a priestess of the Greek god Apollo.
The name "Morpheus" is mythological name for the "lord of dreams", and now ironically the new "Morpheus" program originated as literally a dream, a creation of Neo's subconscious.
To cite a few: Neo is Ancient Greek for "new"; Morpheus is the name for the "god of dreams (and sleep)" in Greek Mythology; and the whole Matrix storyline is a thinly veiled rearticulation of the myth of Prometheus, the half-god (i.e. Neo) who stole fire (i.e godly powers) from the gods (i.e. the makers and keepers of ...
Mormons do not believe in the Trinity. They affirm the unity of three personages, but the unity is a relational unity in purpose and mind, not a unity of essence. The three separate beings of the Godhead are three distinct Gods.

Additionally, the book notes that the ship's nameplate contains the words "Mark III No. 11", which alludes to the Bible verse Mark 3:11: "And, whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, 'You are the Son of God,'" relating Neo's path to the Jesus story.
In the first Matrix film, Morpheus explains that Neo's "body" is a digital construct created by his mind known as a "residual self-image," rather than an actual flesh-and-blood human body.
"Neo" is also an anagram of "one", a reference to his destiny of being The One who would bring peace. There are claims that a nightclub in Chicago inspired the name of the character. Neo is considered to be a superhero.
It was thanks to this cycle that Neo became the one, having be predestined to do so. However, Neo proved to be unique as he would eventually break that cycle thanks to his love for Trinity, marking him out as an even more anomalous anomaly.
The closest “god” we meet in the series is the Deus Ex Machina “God from the Machine”, the embodiment of all Machine-kind's leaders speaking to Neo in the third movie. In The Matrix Reloaded, who is the Architect, and what's he talking about?
At the studio's request, Gaiman later wrote "Goliath", a promotional short story set in the film's universe. The name Morpheus is that of the god of dreams in Greek mythology, which is consistent with the character's involvement with the "dreaming" of the Matrix.
Deus Ex Machina is essentially the god of The Matrix universe, with Neo knowing that he has to take the villain down in order to stop the Machines and save humanity.
While Morpheus, and later Zion, believed Neo to be the second incarnation of the One, he was really the Sixth, meaning the cycle of the Matrix being reloaded had occurred five times before Neo sacrifices himself at the end of Reloaded.
He shaped and formed the dreams, through which he could appear to mortals in any form. This talent made Morpheus a messenger of the gods able to communicate divine messages to sleeping mortals. Though he could take any human form, Morpheus's true form was that of a winged demon.
It is statistically unlikely that we are in the one true universe at the top, but it's equally unlikely that we're in reality at the bottom that hasn't yet created its own simulations. If we really are inside one of an infinite number of simulated realities, then we should be able to make our own Matrix, but we can't.
Essentially, the process of being resurrected and reuploaded into the Matrix (and coded all over again whenever he tried to escape) has quashed Neo's One powers.
The Matrix cements Neo's fate as the prophesied Chosen One when a kiss from Trinity revives him following his premature death inside the reality simulation.
Neo, on the other hand, was able to manipulate just about any part of the system however he wanted. Flying off is one of the ways he shows just how much power he has; not only did he defeat all the agents, but now even gravity is no longer a limit for him.
