Well, for starters, Christians definitely don't view earth as a powerful force or being. Honestly, the Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth reminded me of Avatar, with all of the Avatars connecting to the source of life in the woods.
God created humans apart from the earth, and he created us to use the it. Because it is His creation we must respect and take care of the earth, but we are not supposed to glorify it. And we are definitely not connected to "Mother Earth" in some form of a living community. "She" is not the source of life. God is. Using things in a way that will benefit the earth is great, it helps preserve God's creation. That is called being a good steward. However, we do not do this for the earth's sake, we do it to honor God.
