Australian geologist Ian Plimer argues that, for many agnostics and atheists, the cause of environmentalism has replaced organized religion as a matter of personal faith.

"Environmentalism Is the New Religion"
I can’t believe this is just now coming to light. As far back as at least 20 + years ago, my husband and I learned about this through various pro-life organizations of which we were members. No one seemed to listen or understand. Now this is being heralded as some new discovery. Oh well, better late than never.
I like clean air and a healthy planet as much as anyone but the green issue is a gimmick
Enviromentalism is most likely a splinter from evolutionisionism which is not a religion, but a zealous cult!
I have maintained that the only green part of this issue is the green going into Al Gores pockets.
Where the he!! has he been for the last 35 years?
True...
Darwinism too
It is neo paganism...earth worship...
NO different that dancing to the rain gods...ROFL
Dirt worshipers.
It is the worship of the earth and its practioners are about to murder a good portion of the population to advance it.
And AlGore is the iconic ‘savior’ of the environment-religion.
Just like so many other icons of religions and cults, he doesn’t live what he preaches.
Green on the outside, red on the inside housing the seeds of socalism.
Will algore be covering Watermelon Man or Black Velvet on his new CD? These socialists are smooth.

Maybe now that it’s a religion, we can finally eliminate it from all the government indoctrination centers…er…schools. Can’t be having religion infecting all those little minds of mush can we?
For all practical/political purposes, none other than Al Gore has been the most vocal and high profile leader of this movement. Starting from his “book”, Earth in the Balance, which was one of those handy little “theme manuals” that are now obligatory for any and all Presidential or even Vice Presidential hopefuls, and continuing on to the cultural monolith of AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which “earned” him countless millions of dollars.
The moment I heard Algore shriek, as he got increasingly redder in the face “HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!!!!” talking about Bush’s going into Iraq and the WOT in general, I knew this was classic Freudian projection , and that the environmentalist crusader Gore was playing on our fears, and didn’t want any competition. We have NEVER in American History has a nominally “religious” figure whose extremism can measure up to Algore’s, except maybe some cultists whose eventual fate is mass suicide, like Jim Jones. The hallmark of all lunatic Messianic figures like ALgore, whose message is always “The End of the World is Near” (unless you follow me), is that ultimately they engineer a self-fulfilling prophesy:the movement itself commits slow-motion suicide, but not before a lot of people are able to cash in, and some real political damage has been done. In GOre’s case, he asked for too many KoolAid drinkers to go too far with him,and the result is a gradual withering away of support for his original premises: too much time passes, too many sane people finally find a way to get heard, and those who were once followers simply get tired of waiting for Doomsday while they keep hearing “Evidence to the Contrary” of climate change, both from impartial media, and scientists more reputable than the Gorebots. So Global Warming slowly morphs into the more “subtle” Climate Change, just as Obama’s Nationalized Health Care plan morphs into “Health Insurance Reform” (this last one I noted the day it happened a few weeks ago, and I was heartened to see a guy put this exact question to him a few days ago at his shirtsleeves-up Town Hall meeting).
You said — Darwinism too It is neo paganism...earth worship...

Yep..., it’s along the lines of what God says about people in *this category* — of worshipping the creature and “creation” itself, instead of the one who made it...
The relevant passage in Romans 1
—
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For the full context of that passage..., you can see how “liberals” and “criminals” are created. It’s precisely from this “methodology” of earth-first, green, enviro-whackos. That’s the *starting point* for many — in order to ignore the “Creator” and “worship the creepy-crawly things” instead....
Romans 1:16-32
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
In addition to “worshipping the creepy-crawly things and dirt” — these kinds of people *also* promote the *lies of AGW* (Anthropogenic Global Warming) in order to *deceive* as many others as they can...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...
AND..., It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.
