You may not think Christianity has much to do with ID theories but its proponents definitely do.
Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and atheists aren't pushing this theory, and the only Jew doing it, far as I know, is Ben Stein. It is a Christian pursuit.

After doing a Google search, there seems to be a lot of support among Jews for intelligent design, as well as much support against it:

We don't see other religons pushing their versions of ID because we live in North America. Other religons don't get the air time that Christians get.
Assuming that Christians did articulate ID, it stll has nothing to do with Jesus. It's a theory that stands independently. It's no more unique to Christianity than the ideas of martyrdom, forgiveness, or evil.
