Is There a Need for Philosophy?

I do regard modern environmentalism as a religion in many ways, but it's a particularly dangerous one because it trades on being scientific. Unlike say Judeo Christian or certain other religions it's very anti human in its related in its view of our relationship with the rest of nature. And yet it's viewed as oh all the scientists say this which is why I spend so much time turn trying to break what that means. It makes other people look really bad. The interesting thing I talk about is people often are drawn to ideas that even if it makes them look somewhat bad.
