A mobius strip is not directly related to religion. It is simply a mathematical object, with unusual characteristics.
Given that a mobius strip has only one side, some might argue that religion is one-sided! Or, another way to use a mobius strip to illustrate the benefits of religion is that progress enables one to see both sides of a matter, from 'inside' and 'outside'!
The unusual characteristics of mobius strips have been used in many ways by thinkers, philosophers, writers and scientists to help explain different aspects of life, thinking, change, self, otherness, regeneration etc.
However, in whatever way the mobius strip may be used metaphorically, e.g. to illustrate an aspect, or a feature, of religion, ultimately this would only be just an illustration, and an illustration doesn't prove anything!
For those interested in the mobius strip, or want to know more about how it has been used to explain 'metaphysical' matters , the links in 'Related Links' below provide some further information.

According to www.answers.com, a mobius strip is a continuous one-sided surface that can be formed from a rectangular strip by rotating one end 180° and attaching it to the other end.
The 2 dots indicates a diacritical mark called an 'Umlaut' .
Two sides, there's actually one "flat"side and one "edge". It's an anomaly of phyisical structure.

The mobius strip was created in 1858 independently by August Fernandid Mobius and Johann Benedict Listing, two German mathematicans.

One can make a mobius strip very easily. First, cut a long strip of paper. Then tape the ends together in such a fashion as to create a mobius strip. If you simply tape the ends together normally, you will get a cylinder-shape. There would be two sides: one on the inside, and one on the outside. If you tape the ends together by flipping one end over (or giving it a half twist), you will get a shape that looks almost warped. On this shape, use a pencil to pinpoint a starting place. Then draw a line following the curves of the mobius strip. If the mobius strip has been made correctly, you will get back to your starting place. This is because the mobius strip is a one sided band.
