Is the Judeo-Christian-inspired faith of the workers an alternative to Joh Frederson’s dominion over Metropolis?

In Fritz Lang's expressionist masterpiece Metropolis, allusions to the Christian Bible can frequently be found. Where the underground workers are stuck in a hellish nightmare of darkness, fire, and endless labor, the citizens of upper Metropolis, particularly those who have access to the Eternal Gardens, are heavenly. These two worlds are split entirely into the workers (proletariats) and city folk (bourgeoisie), all while Joh Frederson (played by the German actor Alfred Abel) acts as a godlike figure that watches over all.
In practicing a Judeo-Christian-like faith, these workers are rejecting the inherent godliness of Joh Frederson. By worshipping a higher power, all authority is consequently trumped. Joh Frederson acts godlike in his power, but when the workers replace his power with an actual deity, his power is limited. As most Judeo-Christian religions believe, all men are equal, and all men must answer to God. In this sense, these workers are finding comfort in the idea that Joh Frederson, just like themselves, is ultimately powerless in comparison to God. He, just like them, will be forced to submit to an ultimate authority, and his power over them in the material life is thus inconsequential.
