Eywa

Eywa is the guiding force and deity of Pandora and the Na'vi. The Na'vi believe that Eywa acts to keep the ecosystem of Pandora in perfect equilibrium. It is sometimes theorized by human scientists that all living things on Pandora connect to Eywa through a system of neuro-conductive antennae; this often explains why Na'vi can mount their direhorse or mountain banshee steeds and ride them immediately without going through the necessary steps required to domesticate such wild animals.

Just prior to the final battle between the Na’vi and humans, the pantheistic “problem of evil” comes into focus.  Jake prays to Eywa, saying “I will stand and fight. You know I will. But I need a little help here.” To this, Neytiri, responds, “Our great mother does not take sides, Jake; she protects only the balance of life.” This culminates the pantheist presentation: balance is the supreme good and whatever happens is what happens.
The battle begins, and although the Na’vi surprise attack does rather well at first, the technical superiority and sheer numbers of the oncoming human army withstand the assault. When it seems that all is lost, the animals stampede and swarm, fighting the imperialists, ultimately turning the battle. To this, Neytiri joyfully shouts: “Eywa has heard you… Eywa has heard you!”
And so God intervenes. Eywa sheds the pantheistic trappings, and she becomes a lot more like Yahweh, the God who intervenes, not just saving the Na’vi, but let’s be honest, also the movie! We do not long for stories of balance, but stories where evil is stopped, good triumphs, and the characters “live happily ever after.” Hence, we look for the God who intervenes, who fights on behalf of the oppressed.
