Well the Master Control Program has outlawed user-religion and is torturing programs that still profess belief in the users. (The users are actually the humans that created the programs)
Flynn (Jeff Bridges) is a user who arrives as a program, but has to sacrifice himself to save the (computer) world before he can return home (to the real world).
Interesting.
The religious aspects rampant but for someone who is probably only familiar with a watered down version of Christianity several non-Christian themes make it tough to recognize the themes.
1) There is not One God, but instead a pantheon of gods called the "Users". They can create, manipulate, and destroy Programs. This would be more like Ancient Greek Religion (myth) in that aspect instead of Christianity.
Even the CPU was created by a User.
2) Tron may be the program designed to destroy the CPU, but Flynn is the actual User that has been transported into Tron's world. Though Tron is the Chosen One, he is still just a program created by the Users.
Flynn has super-Program powers which he uses to help Tron, but he is NOT the Chosen One. Flynn activates a broken tank, diverts an enemy attack, and even resurects Tron. He does NOT destroy the CPU.
Again this is different than Christian mythos and more like Norse Religion (think The Lord of The Rings) where a party of heroes go out to battle.
No. Tron have been pop out in 1982. Jeffrey Leon "Jeff" Bridges (born December 4, 1949) is an American actor and musician.

I have an answer but first a comment.
Is this in college? I mean you are paying good money to sit in a class to pay a professor to teach you about religions through viewing the movie TRON. What a ripoff.
But if it helps I would say:
1. Spirutality(There is a real world(earth) and the virtual world(spirits)
2.Hell (the virtual world domininated by the Master Control Program and inprisons all programs(spirits)
3.Messiah(TRON who is the only perfect program capable of of defeating the MCP and delivering the programs from evil)
4.Heaven(TRON(the messiah) defeats the MCP(evil) and frees all of the programs from their imprisonment(sin) forever)
sigh
Youth is wasted on the young.
Wait - are you referring to TRON? The 80's movie with the funky little space ship things and they're sort of in a game? Maybe..I think....it's been years since I've seen it. If so, I had NO idea there was any religious themes in it - then again I was only like 9 (or younger)
Your teacher must have been a nerd or something, the movie is based off a man get stuck into a computer program, while in the computer he meets all the different programs and there jobs. everything a had a place and reason for it being there.
The person makes it religious if he wants. As far as a theme make it up, it is your own interpretation.
message of the movie is light-cycles kick ****.
beyond that, whoever thought tron had anything to do with religion was tripping ballz.
Basic good vs. evil.
The savior from above( as he came from the outside of the computer).
Anti-Christ figure in the program that was trying to take over.
Martyrs in those who remained faithful to the creator.
Message:
Remain faithful to the Creator.
Hope that helps.
I wish I could help, but it's been YEARS since I saw Tron...
Tron? Really?
How the hell does Tron relate to religion?
