In
Wicca We Trust! Is America Ready For A Pagan
Or Atheist President?
By Robert Paul Reyes
Polls indicate that the vast majority of
Americans wouldn't vote for a presidential
candidate who's an atheist or a member of a
fringe religion, like a Pagan or Wiccan.
"Many current pagans in industrial societies
base their beliefs and practices on a
connection to Nature, and a divinity within
all living things." Quotation from Wikipedia
What is so threatening about this peaceful
ideology that would disqualify an individual
from being the President of the United
States?
Pagans perceive a touch of divinity within
all living things, and atheists see all
human beings as equal under the law. Pagans
and atheists/freethinkers aren't burdened
with the sinner/saint dichotomy. We don't
obsess on the differences that divide us; we
focus on the similarities that unite us.
But Americans have no problem casting a
ballot for a mainstream Christian who
doesn't follow the precepts of his faith.
Bill Clinton is a Southern Baptist who
curses like a sailor, lies like a dog, mates
like a bunny, and bears false witness like a
jailhouse snitch, but he would still be
president if the Constitution didn't have
that pesky two-term limit.
Americans need a president who believes in
God, because patriotism and religion are so
inextricably linked. Most Americans simply
can't believe that an atheist can be
patriotic; they'd rather elect a
hypocritical Christian than a
morally-upright unbeliever.
I long for the day when a candidate's
religion is as irrelevant as which football
team he roots for. But I'm afraid that we'll
see a stripper elected president, before an
atheist or a Pagan.
Wicca
is a Pagan Witchcraft tradition popularized by
Gerald Brosseau Gardner. Structure There are no
