While it has its own version of the Golden Rule, pagan Gaia worship is definitely a pre-Old Testament religion.

Naturalists claim an ancient heritage, stretching back tens of thousands of years to the Europe of the Lascaux cave paintings and the curvaceous, carved Venus figurines. Modern feminism also claims roots there.
