In (Beyond God the Father), Mary Daly argues that the concept of God as a father is patriarchal and oppressive to women, and that women should reject all forms of religion that are based on this concept. She also proposes that women should create their own alternative religious traditions that are more inclusive and empowering for women.

In (Models of God: Theology for an Ecological, Nuclear Age), Sallie McFague argues that the traditional concept of God as a transcendent being is no longer tenable in the face of the ecological crisis, and that we need to develop a new concept of God that is more immanent and relational. She also proposes that we need to create a new religious tradition that is based on ecological principles.
