    Monotheism – the television series “The Chosen” is an example of monotheism. It shows the life of Christ on Earth.

    Deism – Recently watched “The Truman Show” which shows a creator who doeesnt intervene in his “creation”.

    Naturalism – Any modern show like “Will Trent” offers a naturalistic worldview where everything is based on science and facts.

    Nihilism – in “The Dark Knight”, the Joker uses moral nihilism to show that morality is made up and that chance and chaos prevail.

    Pantheism – a great film that presents the idea of Pantheism is Avatar, where the life force runs throughout the planet and coexists with the inhabitants.

    Existentialism – there are a lot of movies that depict existentialism, but my favorite is probably “Wall-E”! It portrays a robot who was programmed for one thing, but when the purpose has no meaning, the robot goes on an adventure to find its purpose elsewhere.
