Environmentalism and the religious worldview Is there tension between them?	David Roberts	16 May 2005	Gristmill
I am an atheist. I wouldn't call myself a "militant" atheist, as I don't consider being an atheist a big part of my life or my self-image. I don't believe there are furry three-eyed ghosts floating behind me at all times, but I don't get militant about that either. Why bother? However, in these times we live in, there's a strange pressure to show extreme deference to religious proclamations, however expressed, no matter how absurd the conte ...

Environmental orthodoxy, part one Sustainability is best served by empirical research, not dogma	David Roberts	08 Apr 2005	Gristmill

I don't like it when objections to a practice become dogma even when the practice has changed. In some areas -- religion, for instance -- orthodoxy is built in, and of course many movements become de facto religions as methods harden into unquestioned dogma ...

An elevator pitch for environmentalism	David Roberts	25 Jan 2005	Gristmill
Update [2005-3-14 9:31:34 by Dave Roberts]: The Elevator Pitch contest is over! (You can continue suggesting ideas, but they won't be entered in the contest.)
