Naturally Ambivalent: Religion's Role in Shaping Environmental Action
-
Description
-
This article, published in the journal Sociology of Religion, compares interviews from Christian, Muslim, and Jewish congregations in two major American cities (Houston, Texas and Chicago, Illinois)with the hope of finding patterns that raise suggestions for how religion shapes environmental action. The findings of the article revealed that religious institutions can encourage environmental actions from their members, but "religion may inhibit environmental concern when respondents believe environmental commitment undermines their religious beliefs" (p. 472). This article also raises the point that religious individuals may not consider their environmental actions to be motivated by their religious beliefs, but rather by institutions.
