Environmentalism is one belief which could power future communities.
It is something we can all agree is important, something families can get plenty of enjoyment out of, something we can get together on a Sunday morning to work towards, provides a place for music, discussion, a good place for group holiday getaways, a unanimously good cause which is becoming more and more important as world population increases and the environment comes under more and more threat.
It doesn't require any faith or belief in made up deities. It doesn't make false promises of a wonderful afterlife but instead focuses on preservation of the earth for your own ancestors - something which could be considered a more motivating goal than eternal afterlife.
- danenania 11y agoPersonally speaking, while I consider myself strongly pro-environment, I'm wary of people who refer to themselves as environmentalists as I've found the self-righteousness of these folks to be off the charts. As others have posted, you often see (fervent) religious traits emerging in supposedly secular groups. How do we keep the community but lose the tone of moral superiority?
