What This Is All About
We are gathering writings of atheist and other non-theistic Pagans for publication of the first ever collection of writings by and about non-theistic Pagans.
âBut âatheist Paganâ is a contradiction in terms!â Maybe you have heard this or something like it before. Maybe you are an atheist Pagan and youâve kept it a secret because you thought you were the only one. The truth is that atheist Pagans exist! Together with other non-theistic Pagans, like humanists, naturalists, animists, pantheists, and Gaians, we are part of a growing and vibrant community within the larger Pagan umbrella.
Non-theistic Pagans are Pagans who do not believe in the literal existence of personal gods. But beyond that definition, "non-theistic Pagan" may refer to a variety of theological orientations. For some, gods play no role in their spiritually at all. For others, gods are seen as mere metaphors or as numinous archetypes. Some are pantheists or animists. Most non-theistic Pagans share a love of Pagan ritual and myth and experience a deep sense of awe or reverence in nature.
