It's also a cause that, at the very least, pagans and Wiccans can get 
behind as well.  Other faiths that have a nature-worship element, such 
as Shinto, would probably be behind it, too.  Presumably Judaism and 
Islam as well, since they share the Genesis book.  I wouldn't be 
surprised if Buddhism and Hinduism also had pro-environment stands as 
well.  In fact, the only group I can think of right off the bat that 
might be against it would be LaVey Satanists, since they tend to have a 
belief in the rightness of Man to do as he pleases.  Luciferian 
Satanists would likely be against it, too, if they found out the 
Christians were for it.

There are not too many issues I can think of that could potentially 
cross so many boundaries.

So, instead of taking up a cause that could help mend fences and 
potentially save the lives of millions of registered voters, Dobson 
decides to focus on gay marriage - as if two men or two women marrying 
could affect his marriage in any way.
