Proud of his religion/heritage? Why do people put the Jesus fish on their cars? Idk.
This from Wikipedia to answer your question about the meaning of/motivation for, the "fish symbol" on vehicles, which I've seen used for the past many decades (forgive me if your "question" was rhetorical):

The ichthys or ichthus (/ˈɪkθəs/"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys#cite_note-OED-1"), from the Koine Greek ichthýs (ἰχθύς, 1st cent. AD Koinē Greek pronunciation: [ikʰˈtʰys], "fish") is, in its modern rendition, a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish. It has been speculated that the symbol was adopted by early Christians as a secret symbol; a shibboleth to determine if another was indeed Christian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys#cite_note-Mowat1900-2" ref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys#cite_note-Rasimus2011. It is now known colloquially as the "Jesus fish". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys#cite_note-4". This symbol is widely used by Christians as a sign of their Christian faith, often being found on vehicles, necklaces and laptop stickers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys#cite_note-Griffith2003-5".
