Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?

The rituals of many religions require animal sacrifice or "bali".Unlike Jains and buddhists, Hindus, christians and muslims do eat flesh. Is it true that obsolete religious practices are destroying the environment? Or does religion help to conserve the nature? Do attach references to your answers as much as possible. Also quote the holy books (Veda, Purana, quran etc) and scriptures to substantiate your response.



Thanks for your time.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?The christian bible clearly states that the original diet of mankind was fruits and grains. After sin entered the world God allowed man to consumed the flesh of animals (those that were cleaned) as their constitution was altered (both of man and beast). Nevertheless, now that we are close to the kingdom of heaven, we are encouraged to return to our original diet, mainly because of the corrupt condition of animals due to disease and man′s chemical food they give to them. But diet is not the only thing causing corruption upon the world, the poor spiritual condition of man and his desires for power and riches is the root of all evil.

As far as quoting scriptures, I just did.Does religion aggravate environmental problems or alleviates the malady?Only Christianity and Judaism cite animal sacrifice as pleasing to their respective 'gods'. In fact the bible states many times that the smell of burning flesh is pleasing to 'god'.
