No, it's in Fear of a Bot Planet, at the blernsball game, at least originally, and yes, it IS John 3:16. The alien is wearing a rainbow wig and holding a Glorx 3:16 sign, which is something that was seen enough in olden (70's?) days to become a cultural reference.

Not neccesarily. Remember that both shows (Futurama and Simpsons) were/are team written, and there are actually plenty of jokes in both shows that aren't even to Groening's taste, as evidenced by the audio commentaries. Plus, both shows were/are written by people with lots of different beliefs (religious or otherwise), so a lot of things make it into both shows that are fueled by the opinions of those individual writers, and not Groening. That said I wouldn't be surprised of those jokes do in fact reflect Groening's views. But it's not a certainty or anything.
