Taking Religion into Account

Breathing the air, eating the food, and drinking the water from this earth is something we all have to do; every being on the planet does, so why are humans supposedly exempt from giving back and taking care of the world we live in? Saying that it is someone's "God given right" to pollute, destroy and conquer is just a way for the insecure male-dominated society to justify what they are doing. A woman has never ruled a civilization and said "we must conquer all the land around us for the use of our people." Though there are few women rulers to base that opinion off of, it still seems to say something about a male-dominated world. Religion, morals, and faith should not have anything to do with the fact that humans are destroying our Earth before our very eyes. If one is so-called "Godly", "Religious" than they should be just as prone to saving the planet as someone without a religion. As a person who thinks that religion is the most hypocritical philosophy that exists, I am just as willing to get my hands dirty to help those that need it. This fight shouldn't be about religion, race or geographical location because we are all affected whether we choose to believe it or not. People can ignore climate change all they want but ignoring landfills, polluted water and dying animals is like ignoring an elephant in your living room.
