If you slip back to an "environmental activism" take we're gonna go back to arguing
I still don't see your point, if there is one, about the religions. The three major monotheistis religions originated in a desert/steppe environment, not because of something special about a desert, but becasue they all came from the same religious root. The 3 major modern religious philosophies on the planet all originated in vastly different environments (Hindu, Buddism, Judism). Thye have all branched further from their origins so I completely fail to see what point you are trying to make, nor its relevence to the discussion.

Not all themes are intended by the author. That doesn't mean they aren't there.

Just because something plays a dominate role doesn't make it a theme

A theme is merely a dominant strain in a story; there can be more than one theme present

Your patronizing manner aside, that's not "archaic" at all.
