P antheism is the belief that the universe, taken as a whole, is God. There is, to a pantheist, no God but the combined forces and laws which are manifested in the existing environment.
Environmentalists fit into the several categories of pantheism, and are proud of it.
They worship what they call Nature and, sometimes, Mother Earth. The media long ago swallowed, without a gulp, any and all claims made by environmentalists. Some years back this included the discovery that there is mercury in fish. The resulting hubbub dealt a heavy blow to the fish industry. Later, scientists discovered that mercury in fish has existed for eons, and did not come from industrial wastes.
