@Mysteryshrimp (even though that post is months old): If anything, VV4 has a slight druidic theme and maybe a little Bhuddist, while there is definetly a spiritual element in VV4, it is in no way religious.

It would be more easily seen as taking care of the Earth, with the sickly life tree being the polluted Earth.

Still, I think they went a little heavy handed on the heathens, somehow.
