You guys don't get it, we're not LITERALLY pagan because our only transcendental value is saving the planet. Mother Nature is a useful SYMBOL, we don't believe in Her per se, just as a way to convey our unquestionable duty to the climate and environment. Humans have no special place on this planet, therefore it is imperative that we use all of our reason (which came from nowhere) and economic capacity (which was built on imperialism) to save the planet, and this makes sense to us. In fact, fewer humans would be better for the Planet, even though we don't believe in some sort of non-human consciousness that would benefit. Things would just be better for everything. Which is ultimately meaningless but necessary to the point of human suffering for its sake.
