- Title
Rethinking Church and State: The Case of Environmental Religion.
- Authors
Nelson, Robert H.
- Abstract
The article focuses on environmental religion which states that environmentalism has many features of a religion including sacred sites (wilderness areas), rules for living (recycling), and ascetic requirements (curb energy use). It analyzes the traditional understanding as well as constitutionality of the relationship between government and Christian denominations in the U.S. It reflects why is it constitutionally permissible to proselytize environmental religion in public settings such as public elementary and secondary schools while a similar proselytizing of Jewish or Christian religion in these settings would be constitutionally impermissible.
