An existential threat

The "subordination of the finite to the eternal," whatever its appeal to religious sensibilities, is

not the right mindset with which to tackle climate change. Religious minds, or some kinds at least, might in that respect themselves pose an existential threat to our lives.

Martin Hagglund:

"...climate change and the possible destruction of the earth cannot be seen as an existential threat from the standpoint of religious faith... If you have religious faith, you believe that all finite life can be terminated and yet what is truly valuable will remain."
