Washington Times columnist Jeffrey Kuhner, who has already dubbed President Obama an anti-Christian Leninist and called for civil disobedience to fight his administration, today writes that Obamas support for environmental protection shows that he has embraced radical environmentalism a form of neo-paganism, and is behaving like a quasi-religious zealot. Kuhner was responding to the claims of Rick Santorum, along with other Religious Right leaders, who contend that support for defending the environment somehow hurts humans and is its own religion. The green movement - exemplified by the hoax of man-made global warming - has degenerated into a pseudo-religion, Kuhner maintains, Environmentalists worship Gaia, Mother Earth, turning it into a secular goddess.
