Here's how it works:
Step 1: Click here for a random Wikipedia article.
Step 2: Navigate to Wikipedia's Article on Jesus Christ, using six clicks or less.

I'm three for three so far. Try it out. It's really satisfying. Here are the first three I've completed:
Try and improve on them, or post your own.

Maripipi, Biliran — 3 clicks Dwarakadheesh Temple — 4 clicks Doorstop — 5 clicks If you make one, be sure to include the solution in a spoiler.

Improved to 4 clicks.
See? It's like speed running. I'd like to encourage you guys to only use links that are unique to the article. Has anyone found an article yet that breaks the Six Clicks to Jesus Theorem?

A friend of mine got the article on Jesus as his random article. After that, we stopped playing.

The Wikipedia page for "2007" is apparently the closest to the "center" of Wikipedia, meaning that you can get to any other page from 2007 with an average of 3.45 clicks. When you take out Wikipedia pages for dates or long lists of items, the page for "United Kingdom," is the closest to the center, since it's an average of 3.67 clicks away from any other page.

For extra challenge points, I'm just guessing where the links go instead of actually clicking.

Kharpa > Nepal > Buddhism > Christianity > Jesus.
Alessandra Macinghi > Florentine > Italy > Christianity > Jesus.
Treachery > Australia > Christanity > Jesus.
Bundesautobahn 44 > Belgium > Christianity > Jesus.
Liga Indonesia 1994–95 > Indonesia > Islam > Jesus.
Al-Mustakfi I of Cairo > Egypt > Islam > Jesus.
Characters of Father Ted > Father Ted > Catholicism > Jesus.
Gulf Oil > London > Christianity > Jesus.
Joe Walsh (Illinois politician) > Catholic > Jesus.
2006 Las Vegas Desert Classic > John Part > Canada > Christianity > Jesus.

Jesus is too easy for six clicks. I think going from one random article to another is more fun.

Like, click on random, click it again, and get back to the first page?

Yeah, my friends and I used to play with three clicks. It was a bit tougher.
