I just came across a term which has me befuddled: “atheistic pagan”. Is this even possible to be one? I can’t get my head around it.
What makes one an atheistic pagan? Do you know one? How did they cime about to chose this term to describe their personal spirituality? (Or lack thereof.)
I’m very curious.

I wondered about this too. The answer I was told, was that Atheistic Paganism is sort of like Buddhism, a worship of energies, which are essentially states of mind. In a Pagan sense, positive and negative energies are labeled through ancient Pagan nomenclature.
It also seems to be a genre in which people get to dress cool and wear fancy jewelry.
That’s an interesting definition. I’ll have to research that. Thank you.
