Our modern religion

I have a brother who is deeply religious.  He calls himself an outspoken atheist.  How is this possible?

Simple.  His religion is environmentalism.  How can I wantonly call environmentalism a religion?

Simple: because it is wholly embraced by the most powerful church in the world.  The Holy Roman Catholic Church which has a pope capable of reporting the direct message of god, says so. These days, without relying on the direct infallible word of god the Pope is stating that the world is facing an environmental armageddon due to human caused global warming.  That fits into religion like a clam in its shell.

He is also reminding us that the classic Church theology says that commerce is bad.  I claim that this anti-commerce anti-Americanism is also religion, held worldwide by Lefties of every stripe.  Anti-commerce and environmental armageddon are one and the same religion.

To prove that he is part of the 1,800 year tradition of the ‘true church’ he also recognized the State of Palestine that includes Gaza. This fits in perfectly with the Church’s historic Jew hate that the Pope so happily finds in the Palestinian constitution.  Palestinians reject the Jewish State of Israel.  As his long religious tradition says "kill the Jews". (Check on the pre-Pope Francis reaction to this theology by Spain and Portugal. Amnesty 500 years later.)

So if the Catholic Church considers environmental armageddon to be part of its religion, I don’t know how my brother or any other global warming environmentalist can claim that their environmental religion is not a religion.

Remember your class in logic.  ‘A’ is a large old established religion.  ‘B’ is environmentalism with its belief in human caused armageddon.   ‘A’ claims to totally include ‘B’ as a religion: therefore environmentalism-with-human caused armageddon IS religion.
