Abstract

Demonization of Environmentalism by conservative critics, both secular and religious, has been an aspect of the values strategy of American politics over the last thirty years. Whereas at one time Conservation, Preservation and Environmentalism were considered bi–partisan issues, in more recent times a wedge has been successfully driven between many Conservatives and the Environmental movement. This schism did not occur accidentally but as part of a deliberate strategy pushed by a coalition of political, social and religious Conservatives. This paper explores what caused many Americans to move away from voting Green and supporting Green policies on religious grounds and how Progressive Christians are responding to this social and political phenomenon.
