Pope Benedict argues that a life lived only in material terms will, in the end, understand the earth as a material thing to be used (up). Yet, many atheists seem sincerely interested in 'saving' the environment.
Perhaps the modern Godlessness is actually pantheism recycled as environmentalism. Even atheists need to worship something.
Meanwhile, the earth and it's wonders are the treasure God has entrusted to us. We are called to be gardeners, not pourers of concrete.
