In your own words
"Religion is generally a matter of convenience, power, and the almightly dollar"

You equivocate religion with greed.

"Basically, this "gift" from God is being urinated on by most of those that profess themselves to be Christians. The same is true of other religions."

You did say that it was the Christians as well as other religions were the ones urinating on this gift from God.

"Why the contrast between abortion and planetary destruction?"

Good question, you go on to wrongly state that because abortion has little to do with convenience, power or money the Christians oppose it. Thr truth of the matter Abortion has everything to do with money. Abortion clinics make tons of money.

" OTOH, destroying the planet is ALL about convenience, power and/or money. Plain and simple. Nothing mysterious about it at all. That's basically what religion comes down to."

Once again you equate religion with convenience power and money.

In America you are entitled to say and think what you want as am I and I would say the conversation wasn't over!
