The FF games are not influenced by any particular real-world religion, although parallels can be drawn though with certain faiths in the real world throughout history with elements of the FF games.

However the stories for FFVII and the FF movie though, were both inspired by James Lovelock's 'Gaia Hypothesis' (a belief that the Earth is a living organism, with all lifeforms on the planet intristincally linked to it by a 'circle of life'). As FF creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has confirmed in interviews, he was inspired by Gaia Hypothesis after the sudden death of his mother Aki in a car crash in 1989.

How much of the idea Sakaguchi used in the games came from Lovelock and how much was his own imaginative invention is anyone's guess though.

true and not always for the better.

I dug the fact that FF has religious references in the story. It makes for a deeper experience and more mysterious vibe.

final fantasy's religons are just plain dictatorships with spiritual leaders
everyone always lives in fear

the whole world follows the religon though kinda freaky

I remember in FFX Wakka saying something like, "We have to repent to get rid of Sin", so I'm sure many people could have saw a religious influence in that.
