I could go into how the Liberal party has stolen millions form Canadians from money that was meant to buy the allegiance of Quebecers to Canada so that they won’t vote to separate.
For the benefit of those members who don't follow Canadian news, I would like to point out that Conservative governments, both at the federal and provincial levels, have been guilty of just as much corruption. It isn't the size of government that causes corruption.
But the questions in the OP are not about government:

Why are so many environmentalists and lovers of all creatures secularists? Where are the voices of the faithful? Why is there no chorus rising from the churches to stop the destruction of this gorgeous world?
Those of us who believe that all living things are our brothers and sisters are more likely to treat them with respect.
Those who believe that we are somehow "special" or "above" them are more likely to abuse them.

People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.
