Why the denial of Paganism?

[Edwardo Piet]

And, with that said, if I was ever going to choose to follow a religion, it would most likely be one of the pagan ones, since Christianity, with it's pagan origins, is far more evil than almost any other religion in human history.

With me it would be buddism... because some versions don't even believe in gods.

And futhermore, I'd be like massively watered down. Like I'd believe in karma in a ridiculously metaphorical sense of a "past life" being ones own thoughts as they pass claiming that we were a different person every moment. I'd never literally believe the karma bullshit it's fucking destructive. And the same would go for reincarnation, I'd consider my future lives to be merely my future thoughts.

Basically if I ever had to follow a religion I'd water it down so much that I'd not only still be an atheist but all my "religious" and "spiritual" "beliefs" would pretty much just be labels and semantics and what I actually believed wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. Lol.

If I have to pick a religion, I wanna pick it in such a way that it's only nominally a religion. Lol.
