Bad Religion and the Environment

Why do we disbelieve science ? Specifically why are we so slow to make the changes that will help save millions of lives ?

I think bad religion has played a part in encouraging our individualism - simply the world was made for us. It's ours. We own and control.

Good religion encourages a humility and a gentleness before the divine. It does not put us at the centre but rather our Creator and those for whom there is special care - the poor and vulnerable.

May good religion prosper !
