"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."
