I don't think we all disagree much - I think this whole thread turns on each of our owns understanding of the word 'sacred' - does it mean 'religious' or does it mean 'highly valued'?

It can means either and more. That's why I find it hard to understand the argument that the term 'sacred landscape' is spiritually or religiously value ladden.
