Religious Agrarianism

Religious agrarianism is a recent emergence that combines two strains of human culture. This emergence is most visible in North America, but there are nascent religious agrarians found throughout the globe. One strain is the human universal of religion, where religion is defined as a cosmological belief system that posits some conception of sacrality. What is believed to be sacred can be found in a spiritual presence, in spiritual beings, in a god or gods, in nature and/or natural landscapes, and even in processes of evolution. A community of followers shares this sacred cosmology, such that the community also shares a system of ethics, generates a variety of material expressions, and accepts the validity of characteristic emotional experiences that relate to the cosmology.
