"Many radical environmentalists can accurately be

labeled “nature mystics.” And many of them express

affinity with religions they generally consider more

nature-beneficient than occidental religions, such as those

originating in Asia such as Buddhism and Daoism,

religious beliefs or practices surviving among the world’s

remnant indigenous peoples, or being revitalized or

invented anew, such as PAGANISM and WICCA. Paganism

and Wicca are considered to be (or to be inspired by) the

Aboriginal nature religions of the Western world, which

have been long suppressed by imperial Christianity and

Islam."
