As for the tsahik, since, the olo'eyktan and tsahik are mated... it makes far more sense for the olo'eyktan to be male, unless some tsahik ARE male.
The Na'vi have both male and female hunters - although we don't see much of other Na'vi, it seems both are parents too (for example, in the SE/CE, where the Na'vi stops his daughter from going up to Jake)

...you know, I'm too tired and too ill to debate the religion thing. I see it as functional as any religion from a social, cultural and anthropological point of view, you clearly do not. I suggest we leave it there.
And actually, the clan leader doesn't have to be male at all. The Na'vi have homosexuals, and from the blu-ray Pandorapedia, I get the sense that they are not common, but not UNcommon either. And also in the blu-ray Pandorapedia, it says the tsahik is always female. Unless I read it incorrectly.
