        “A religious naturalist takes Nature to heart.”

        What does “taking nature to heart” mean to you?

          Knowledge of Nature is needed to take it to heart, but in taking it to heart, one also feels it, spiritually and morally.

            What does it mean to “feel something spiritually”? How does understanding nature relate to morality?

              Spiritual feelings, in my lexicon, include awe and wonder, reverence, gratitude, humility, joy, etc. Knowledge of primate social systems is helpful in developing human moral constraints.
