Well, there are some similarities, but some wide differences as well. Many western religions were rooted in a reverence for the Earth, and that seems to be the common ground. From there, the Maia worship seems to go into a dominance over all things, requiring sacrifices. Along comes Christianity, which seems to separate God from the earth and require allegiance only to God. Earth worship was relegated to Paganism and attempts continue to eradicate it.

In our culture, the Earth is our mother, who nurtures us, and we are supposed to respect and treat her as our mother. We thank her for her gifts, and we take care of her so she can continue to nurture us. We are dependent on her, and she depends on us to respect and care for her in return. When she is threatened, as now, we are all in danger. We don't worship her in the Western sense. We are part of her, and her well-being is essential to ours.
