Most wiccans are atheists. They aren't religious either. They're ritualists. Their gods are a term of art, and their practices supply structure but not stricture. This is why wicca never succeeds or fails as a cultural phenomena..it doesn't have the prerequisites nailed - it doen;t satisfy true believers or conformists, and it provides no authority for free thinkers. It literally can;t win....but at the same time it;s nowhere near as shitty and narrowminded as traditional belief, and so long as traditional belief remains as petty and close minded as it is things like wicca will swirl around it's periphery.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
