Throughout the course we have discussed several different environmental philosophers and their varying opinions. One that particularly stuck out to me was Foltz and the concept of spirituality. He argued that there are various ways in which religion impacts our relationship to nature and how we view it. I grew up being raised in a Catholic church and I wonder if my experiences in nature would have been different or changed if I wasn't raised in church. Growing up, symbols in nature such as doves always tied back to a religious meaning and maybe they wouldn't have if I would have never gone to church.
