Both writers agree that Environmentalism is, or is becoming, a new religion, but their views of what this means are as divergent as possible. Chrichton sees a world where fantasy has replaced reality to the detriment of mankind, while Hitt sees a dramatic and growing movement that imbues environmentalism with a new spirituality and connection with God, as a foil of Creationism and Intelligent design. tag:metafilter.com,2004:site.30852 Tue, 20 Jan 2004 16:17:51 -0800 chrichton environmentalism religion cell divide
