Bron Taylor’s work explores the emergence of “green religions” across North America and beyond, where nature is revered as sacred, often supplanting traditional religious beliefs. From radical environmental activists to eco-psychologists, Taylor delves into diverse groups with environmentally motivated spiritual practices. He grapples with the paradox of how these movements can be religious despite rejecting conventional supernatural worldviews. Through a global lens, Taylor highlights both the profound passion and potential pitfalls of this phenomenon, inviting readers to assess its role in a transformative religious landscape.
