Many are the people who’ve observed that environmentalism is more a religious than a scientific phenomenon. For evidence of the accuracy of this observation, see this call, in Time, to make Earth Day a religious holiday [2]. (HT: Phil Magness who, on his Facebook page, comments [3] “Yes, please do this.
