Today in my Ren. To Modern Day Humanities course my teacher was talking to us about how religions before christianity (pagan) were one with nature and basically much of the religion itself was related to nature. This raised an interesting point in my atheist brain, do you think if it weren't for the abrahamic religions that we'd be better off environmentally? It actually makes sense, that once christianity came around peoplehad this mentality that God was going to save them and the earth could not fail, so why take care of it? Plus, in the abrahamic religions, humans are the center and most important whereas in others they are equal to everything else on earth (and beyond). I still think we would have royally effed up the earth either way with technology and such, but I'm sure this "oh it doesnt matter how much polution we put out into the world, gods going to save us" mentally didnt help much.
