I don't think Merkava was named after a religious term, at least not purposely.The word Markava means 'chariot' in Hebrew, a biblical term mentioned throughout the old testament especially with regards to the Merkabah of Ezekiel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkabah_mysticism
Ezekiel is a Prophet in Islam, Christianity and Judaism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezekiel In the Islamic tradition this prophet is called Zul-Kifl
Is there much other military equipment symbolised with religious terms?

Almost every single word in Hebrew was mentioned in the old testament, it doesn't make a word into a religious term though.The word Markava means 'chariot' in Hebrew, a biblical term mentioned throughout the old testament especially with regards to the Merkabah of Ezekiel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkabah_mysticism

Merkava, of course, is a chariot. It was a powerful instrument of war in the ancient world. No religion involved.
David's Sling mentioned here obviously refers to David and Goliath story.
However,
Jericho missiles should probably remind the story of ancient Jericho.
Rahab and Tannin submarines resemble mythical sea monsters.
Games offer unrealistic representations of weaponry and/or fooling players unfortunately.MERKAVA MK4 is my favorite Tank in Armored warfare online Multiplayer game so far. Chinese and American tanks are made up of Paper in that game easily penetrated.
only British challengers, Russian Aramatas and Israeli Merkava mk3 onwards are very very though non penetrable tanks in the game. i was almost disaaponted by chinese tanks in that game. but hey have good speed. light tanks at most.
one Good looking heavy tank this one is.
