>Paganism is booming in Europe and beyond“Many young people are leaving organised religion for similar reasons to myself,” says Eileen Nash, 20, an ex-Catholic turned Wiccan. “They’re tired of the shame, they want to ask (theological) questions and they don’t want to be a part of an organisation that promotes discrimination of any kind.”
>Christians fear Paganism's influence on modern cultureThis is the world in which we are called to proclaim the truth of the gospel. And the creation of this cosmology, and I mean by that a coherent, well worked out way of looking at things, has been developed over the last few years. In 1993, the magazine, ‘The Nation’ said this, “If the gay rights cause,” — that’s 22 years ago — “a small and despised sexual minority is to survive and eventually succeed, it will need to invent for itself a complete cosmology.”
My dad -- a self-proclaimed redneck -- was a man ahead of his time. Despite living in Canada's Evangelical Bible belt, he had the guts to speak up for gay rights at a time in our province when not many voices were. He was unflinching in his pro-choice stance and raised two daughters who never believed that a woman should "obey" a husband. Love and respect, absolutely. But obey? Fat chance.
>Why paganism is good for modern familiesMy mom was the same way. I remember her getting mad because evolution wasn't being taught in our public school, the instruction having been opposed by religious lobby groups. Despite this, my family wasn't anti-religious. We were just indifferent-religious. Even looking back, there was nothing that religion could have added to my family life. We were good without god.
