There are a lot of ignoramus things around to believe in... religion being only one of many - and not even close to being one of the worst. It seems to me that (so-called) "atheists" are obsessively concerned about not ticking merely this one particular box - but can be as perfectly open to the rest as any religious person.
Are you trying to say that religion is (somehow) responsible for our impending environmental catastrophe? Just a hunch on my part... but I don't think you're going to find many climatologists that will agree with you.
Yeah... I've noticed. All these (alleged) "atheists" spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about something they vehemently denies even exists.
That's the part I find so damn strange.

Unclear if there's a causation but there is very much a correlation. I think there is a causation, these people think Humans couldn't cause climate change, or that God is ultimately in charge of it and we should just throw up our hands and expect "Him" to take care of it.
These people vote.
So yeah, in some way, religion is responsible for it.
Really?
That's it?
Sure... WASP ideology does seem to make WASP people more vulnerable to the propaganda of the free-market cultists that has been justifying the genocidal destruction and exploitation of our world - but blaming capitalist and colonialist "modernity" on religion is a stretch. A very, very long one.
Lol! So you don't fall for the whole "Magic Sky Daddy" stuff but when the politicians and their propagandists tell you live in a (supposed) "democratic" society it's hook, line and sinker time?
Don't tell me you rejected one set of fables only to fall for another one, atheist.
