Every so often, environmentalists say something that inclines one to view their mission as more religious than ecological:
Observe an eco-sabbath. For one day or afternoon or even hour a week, don’t buy anything, don’t use any machines, don’t switch on anything electric, don’t cook, don’t answer your phone, and, in general, don’t use any resources. In other words, for this regular period, give yourself and the planet a break. Keep your regular eco-sabbath for a month.
The same post proposes a “tithe”, urges environmentalists to “sing together”, asks that they dedicate themselves to “eco-service” and finally preaches:
Believe with all your heart …
Testify!

It's a useful religion as it makes a virtue of sloth.
