Yeah of course religion is not the sole factor, but because of the way Gibbs is religiously, the fact it was his call to spend boatloads of money on Brunell, and how Gibbs is known to stick with his QB even in bad times all adds to it. I think claiming religion is the sole reason is incorrect, but considering it a piece of the puzzle may not be a huge stretch considering the facts above.
I mean look at it this way, there is no denying that if there was a QB on our roster, 100% equal to Brunell in skill, Gibbs would go with Brunell because of their personal relationship, which also occurs in church. The main question is, by going to the same church, have they both developed a closer bond? I would think so. Now does this bond influence his choice of who to put as starter to some extent? Perhaps, we don't know.
