Prejudice is to judge beforehand, to judge without evidence. It occurs prior to the more reasonable discussion over validity.
Yes - and the words "unnatural" and "natural" can operate independently from their acquired stigmas; hence, continuing to categorize them by those stigmas is prejudicial.

Based on context, I would expect a Christian speaking about nature to be using it in a negative fashion. If it was a forest ranger, I'd expect his use of the word would be either neutral or positive. If it was a Christian forest ranger, who the hell knows.
What makes mountains natural, in the positive sense?
