In this innovative and deeply felt work, Bron Taylor examines the
evolution of "green religions" in North America and beyond:
spiritual practices that hold nature as sacred and have in many
cases replaced traditional religions. Tracing a wide range of
groups--radical environmental activists, lifestyle-focused
bioregionalists, surfers, new-agers involved in "ecopsychology,"
and groups that hold scientific narratives as sacred--Taylor
addresses a central theoretical question: How can environmentally
oriented, spiritually motivated individuals and movements be
understood as religious when many of them reject religious and
supernatural worldviews? The "dark" of the title further expands
this idea by emphasizing the depth of believers' passion and also
suggesting a potential shadow side: besides uplifting and
inspiring, such religion might mislead, deceive, or in some cases
precipitate violence. This book provides a fascinating global tour
of the green religious phenomenon, enabling readers to evaluate its
worldwide emergence and to assess its role in a critically
important religious revolution.
