I'm stuck on a question: which is the most opposed to nature, religion, science, or philosophy?

Scientific materialism is a somewhat foreign way of looking at the world, and has led increasingly to an 'unnatural' way of interacting with it. Religion is more primordial to our beings and we 'resonate' with nature when practicing it. But that's just one way of looking at it.

I like your approach to the question. The first part about scientific materialism might be in conflict with 's response, but is in alignment with my own intuitions. Regards religion, would this apply, in your understanding, to all religions? Or just certain religions?

'Religion' perhaps as rituals and practices that return us to some fundamental state of being from which we've become distanced i.e. 'religious experience'. This is only one aspect of major religions (along w/ social order etc) Some lean towards that return, others towards order
Well said. This might also be expressible by using Nietzsche's dual gods, Dionysus and Apollo.
Dionysus = nature religions; Apollo = religions of human order in opposition to natural intrusion and decay.
