Uh, it is a religious belief for the Navajo. Which is why comparing it to believing in Bigfoot or UFOs is hugely insulting, BTW.

It's more like telling Christians that Jesus didn't perform any miracles or Muslims that Mohammed would be cool with having his portrait done.

I think the operative words here may be in this setting, and maybe that's why she thought she'd get away with it.

Though the idea that Jesus didn't do any miracles and was a charlatan of the highest order is pervasive enough anymore that it rolls right off this Christian's back. No sense getting mad about it; it doesn't affect me or my faith.

+1. I hear this all the time. And yes, it doesn't really matter to me, they can believe what they want, and I can believe what I want. I'd rather not get into fights over religion, as there's been entirely too much of that throughout history.

And no doubt there are some Navajos who don't care about Rowling using the skinwalker stories. But that doesn't change the fact that when you start taking peoples' religions and playing with it for your fictional world, you're likely to step on feelings.

There's a difference between believing in God and believing in demons and angels acting among humanity, if only because one's a lot more of a threat for the folks who're suspected of possession. (To be fair, I don't hear about people being beaten or murdered because they're suspected of being skinwalkers.)

...you can believe in angels and demons acting among humanity without being a wild-eyed zealot and being all BURN THE WITCH about it. In fact, I daresay there are more of the quiet kind like that then there are zealots. The zealots just make the news.

The Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne has Jesus being part of a vast pantheon. I don't get my panties in a twist about it, because if I got my panties in a twist about every little thing that writers get wrong about my religion, I'd spend my life in a state of perpetual rage. I don't have the time, inclination, or energy for that.
