Title

Environmentalism as Religion

Description

The article discusses how traditional religions have been struggling in recent decades to gain as many members because the modern world has become more complex morally and ethically. Therefore, it questions the role of environmentalism as filling that gap in many people's lives as the new faith that they can follow. It incorporates a history on ecology through different scientists theories/findings and also the transfer of many Christian communities to the "green", sustainable mindset. Finally, it compares and contrasts different philosophers ideas on what religion really means and if environmentalism has the capacity to be it's own.
