How Religion Intersects With Americans’ Views on the Environment

Elena Panina (Елена Панина | The further from God an American is , the more worried he/she is about climate. Conversely, the more religious Americans are, the less worried they are about global warming, a Pew Research Center poll shows. The study found that:
■ Political parties, not religion, are the driving force behind public opinion on climate in the US.
■ Religious Americans tend to identify with the Republican Party.
■ Republicans are far less likely than Democrats to believe that human activity - such as burning fossil fuels - somehow affects the earth's climate.
■ Religious Americans are more concerned about the social consequences of the environmental "agenda": loss of personal freedoms, job losses or higher energy prices.
As the survey suggests, environmental policies in the US and the collective West are at odds with the values of the religious person. Radical eco-activism even looks like neo-paganism in their eyes. ● On the whole, believers, regardless of denomination, are not prepared to resign themselves to the "green agenda" and reject fashionable concepts like "individual carbon footprint". Especially if they lead to the infringement of freedoms, business closures and unemployment. ● But this does not mean that believers are indifferent to the environment. Three quarters of those polled regard the earth as sacred and 80% believe that people have a duty to protect nature, including animals and plants. (Trans.:DeepL.com)
