He explicitly premises his philosophy on contemporary science, particularly in ecology, biology, and cosmology.  His work has been enormously influential.

Not on me, never heard of him before. And from what I read in wiki I wouldn't give him much credit. 'Religious Naturalism' is a non starter.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
