It is a metaphor really, for what Christians are called to do in this life: be a "Warrior" and call on God's power to fight demons, in whatever form they may be.
Two things:
1) If you want to get technical, all gods are conspicuously absent in Diablo III. The "good" guys are angels, which seem to be working on their own accord. Also, I use the term very loosely, as roughly half of them want to kill all humans for the failings of some... although, ironically, that does draw some creepy parallels to several Old Testament myths.
2) Whenever deities are mentioned, they're nameless and plural.
This is only "Christian-themed" in the loosest possible sense of the word, if you want to look at "good vs evil" featuring angels and demons. One could also say it's Zoroastrian-themed or Islam-themed, so, there's that.
Side note: I remember playing Diabo II years ago at my parent's house. They had some other couple over there, and they found out what I was playing. I could overhear the wife complaining to her husband that "Diablo" means "Devil". This is technically true, but I didn't feel like explaining to her that I'm fighting Diablo and not worshiping him. Whatever.
