    I have long wondered if the path to the one world religion is paved with “green” cobble stones. If you consider the UN’s worldwide unification efforts via the IPCC and the URI, and the fact that both recognize nature worship (Wicca, Gaiaism, etc.), you could arguably see the pieces of the puzzle coming together. Not only will Muslims and greens be celebrating Ramadan this year, but some christians seem to be on the bandwagon:
