Description
"Even in pagan antiquity, there were those who, while participating in the community's religious life, did not believe in literal gods. In the centuries that followed the Christian domination of the West, the epithet "godless pagan" was leveled at a wide variety of people. In the 1960s, there emerged a community of people who sought to reclaim the name "pagan" from its history of opprobrium. These Neo-Pagans were interested in nature spirituality and polytheism, and identified with the show more misunderstood and persecuted pagans of antiquity. While many Pagans today believe in literal gods, there are a growing number of Pagans who are "godless." Today, the diverse assemblage of spiritual paths known as Paganism includes atheist Pagans or Atheopagans, Humanistic and Naturalistic Pagans, Buddho-Pagans, animists, pantheists, Gaians, and other non-theistic Pagans. Here, their voices are gathered together to share what it means to be Pagan and godless."--Amazon show lessTags

- Dedication
- To my son,
for having the courage
to say what he believes,
to my daughter,
for having the courage
to say she doesn't know
what she believes yet,
and to my wife,
for having the wisdom
to know what we... (show all) are
more than our beliefs. - First words
- I am delighted to introduce this volume of works by thinkers, explorers, ritualists, and theorists of the non-theistic Pagan community, and to have my works counted among them.
