Was the point of the article to say that only Judaism & Christianity are valid religions? Seems a little harsh and undiplomatic, if you ask me.

While a lot of the religions mentioned, Hinduism, Shinto, etc. have strong respect for nature wrapped up in them, that doesn't mean they worship nature.

And don't forget, we're not supposed to be scornful of nature either. It's God's creation, for us, and we're supposed to be good stewards of it. Didn't St. Paul say "Nothing the Lord has made is bad except mankind itself?" Again, I'm not saying we should worship nature, but we shouldn't despise it either.
