I just read somewhere that there is an analogy between the Fringe trio (Walter, Peter and Olivia) and the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) in Christianity.
It is claimed that Walter Bishop is a symbol for God. His superb intellect makes him appear to be almost omniscient. He is the voice (source) of logic and reasoning of the whole universe. In his lab, he’s even a creator. And recently it was revealed that he was the one who came up with the idea of creating a new universe.
Peter Bishop is a symbol for Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In fact, he sacrificed himself and was erased; but his energy (soul) came back in a physical form beating all laws of physics. He was resurrected. He had even looked like he had been crucified when he used the machine (which had been built by his father who had to sacrifice his son) just before he was erased:

Olivia Dunham is a symbol for the Holy Spirit. She appears to be a source of great power (and Walter Bishop’s experiments had given her those powers). She inspires, leads and comforts. She sees the best in people, even when they don’t see it in themselves. She led Peter to the right path and helped him to resurrect. In Christianity it is believed that the resurrection power of Jesus is given through the Holy Spirit.
