On Ethical Culture and Religious Naturalism

On Ethical Culture - I apologize for the error in the founding date (It. was 1876) and appreciate the clarification.  Those interested in the Ethical Cultural Movement will find a beginning summary on Wikipedia.  I wonder if the Ethical Cultural Movement, The Unitarian Universalists and the New Humanists aren't all trying to do the same thing.  In my opinion, it's something that really needs doing.  Soon.

On Religious Naturalism -  I see Religious Naturalism as a broadening of the focus of Religious Humanism to include a respect for all life (not just human), an active protective stance concerning ecology and at least an awareness of an infinite Universe of which we are all a part.  As far as the the cultural and scientific developments go, the Creationism/Intelligent Design vs. Evolution controversy in which supersitition trumps reason is one example.  The fact that such a large persistent voting bloc exists may keep us from making vital desisions which affect our future.  Religious Naturalism, if widespread, might help.
