So Jesus is referenced in the movie then.

No, but he gets a nod in the preface.
From the book:
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how nice it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmanworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything. Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell any one about it, a terrible, stupid catastrophe occured, and the idea was lost for ever.
Yes, actually He is. (Or at least He was in the books.)
