While I think the solar cycle has Jesus, it's pretty clear that Wolfe wanted to play with a medieval world without Christianity dominating in the Wizard Knight - maybe he thought about the implications of such a world and I feel for sure that is part of his motivation in exploring Mythgarthr etc.
I agree. One "big question" that such a story would answer is: can there 
be ethics without God (including Christ as proof of God's yadda yadda)?

Since Wolfe is not a Protestant, his answer is not necessarily "no." 
Because he loves myth and sees it as a genuine answer to real problems, 
his answer is "probably." Does the book prove it? Hard to say.
