There is a trend towards secularization in society today, and atheists are becoming more numerous in many European countries. I respect atheists, but this trend also shows that our sense of the sacred and our reverence for a supreme power are becoming increasingly absent. If, we are lacking in the worship of the divine power and thus, we also become alienated from nature. This is one of the reasons why many of nature’s sacred sites are being destroyed. How to regain a sense of the sacred as a mainstream value in our societies would go a long way towards the sustainability of the world as a whole.
