For the movie Avatar, explain the religion of the blue people.

You have asked far more than the one question that you are
allowed to ask, so I have edited it down. In responding to this question I will comment
on a few aspects of the religion of the Na'vi as presented in the film so you can go
back, watch the film again and develop my initial
ideas.

Certainly the major aspect of their religion that
you need to be aware of is the closeness of their culture and society to Nature and
their world. In a sense, I think Cameron was making a parallel between the Na'vi and so
many other indigenous people groups, who may be considered "uncivilised" in terms of
their lack of technology, but show themselves far more able to live in harmony with
nature.

Note the following aspects. When Neytiri saves Jake
from being killed in the woods at the beginning, she says a prayer of release for the
creature that she kills. The Na'vi are a people group that do not kill and slaughter
indiscriminately. They only hunt what they need and say a prayer of release for all that
they kill. In addition, note the importance of sacred trees and groves to their
religion, and the absolute grief that is shown when one of their ancient holy sites is
destroyed. The Na'vi have a completely different outlook on nature - they do not see it
as something for them to treat as they want, rather they shape their lives to live in
harmony with it and build their lives around it. You will also want to comment on the
deep connection that there is between the Na'vi and the animals and the whole planet
itself - living in harmony with nature obviously has massive
benefits.

Hopefully this will get you started on this very
interesting assignment. Good luck!
