Summary/Abstract: The article is a continuation of the previous two studies conducted by the authors. The first was a conceptual analysis of the four agents of atheistic anthropocentrism: relativism, hedonism, consumerism, and materialism. The goal of the first paper was to investigate the precise meanings of the agents of atheistic anthropocentrism. The second research paper studied the impact and influence of four agents of atheistic anthropocentrism on society and the environment. Negative impacts were observed, not only on the environment and society but also on the individual. This third research paper explores means, solutions, methods, and remedies to overcome the agents of atheistic anthropocentrism. After understanding the terms and researching the devastating influence of atheistic anthropocentrism, it is crucial to seek ways and actions to face and overcome these social deviations. The paper complements those methods or remedies with the recommendations from the encyclical Laudato Si’. These actions to overcome atheistic anthropocentrism are important since Laudato Si’ is based on a Christian proactive stand towards the world, not just the role of mere observers or analysts. The encyclical Laudato Si’ clearly shows the negative influence of the agents of atheistic anthropocentrism and provides solutions against them, so it is important to analyze the recommendations of Pope Francis. A strategy summarizing methods and means against the agents of atheistic anthropocentrism is called A.A.A.A.A. - Actions Against Agents of Atheistic Anthropocentrism.
