»Don't miss the religious aspects«

Great site! It's nice to see someone dealing with the wide variety of theories out there rather than just latching onto one and defending it against all logic as many people have.

I'm curious as to why you've avoided the religious themes and the more metaphysical theories (for example: Neo stopped the Sentinels because he is the Messiah"). Some of them have been briefly touched on, but certainly not to the extent of others. "Is Neo the Messiah?" is certainly worthy of its own section.

Having watched the film quite a few times, I don't see Zion's populace dominated by any particular race; it seems pretty mixed to me.

The religious issues are part of the themes that the films deal with, as important perhaps as the history the films establish.
