The Problem With Christianity and Judaism

Judaism and Christianity are held up for criticism as opposed to any of the other world religions. White recognized that various uses of science and technology are at the forefront of resource extraction and ecosystem destruction. But he argued that these activities are underpinned by attitudes that ultimately stemmed from religion. The anthropocentric bias of Judaism and Christianity, the split between nature and culture in certain religious texts all create what white sees as a philosophy underpinning our current ecological crisis.
