What do atheists think of pagans and wiccans

RE: What do atheists think of pagans and wiccans
(September 14, 2022 at 8:51 am)The Grand Nudger Wrote: So, I remember this being the case back through the nineties and early 00's, that for alot of people paganism was a sort of stepping stone - and to atheism, specifically.  I wonder what that transition is, from being pagan to being an atheist as (in any sense) other-than.  What are the essential parts of a genuine pagan belief as you see it, and to what extent do your current beliefs differ from or are opposed to those parts?

That was roughly the time period I first got interested in paganism. Paganism is a belief system that genuinely practices love and peace, as opposed to the hatred and violence evident in christianity. That was the appeal at the time, the need for something comforting, even if its conceptual roots are as unrealistic as other belief systems. In the end, atheism will win for me because I simply cannot forsake reality for the fantasy that a belief system tries to impose. And I don't need the comfort anymore, not like I once did.
