1/ In a very real way, the shift from a pagan earth-based spirituality to the patriarchal Christian notion of man’s right to dominate nature was a causal factor contributing to what would one day become our environmental crisis.

2/ The environmental crisis and the political/economic corruption that perpetuate it are all fueled by humanity’s lack of reverence and devotion to anyone and anything but ourselves. An overly materialized worldview counterintuitively leads to violence toward the material world.

From someone who made their name and fortune capitalizing on someone elses Course In Miracles this is an; interesting take.

Hm. So... not a Christian any more?? Lots to unpack there. Neither am I, but this post explains a lot about what has happened with you. Maybe return to your Course in Miracles? There’s room for any religion without killing earth. You used to know that

So, so, wrong. It’s the cartesian, mechanistic view of the world that started with Descartes and developed into physicalism and scientism etc, completely disconnected from our place in nature. A good recent talk on this

Pagans desire to exploit nature was only limited by their ability to accomplish that exploitation. North American megafauna were hunted to extinction and not by Christians.
