Click on the YouTube channel, short segments dealing with individual callers. I am impressed by the host especially, Matt is sharp.

I identify, as far as this subject is concerned and in order of importance to me, as secular, atheist, and pagan. I'd like to bring my pagan view to the radio show but frankly I'm intimidated.

Why not? My wife is a shaman, pagan for sure and she would not hesitate to talk about it on a radio show or any other venue.

I myself am more in the atheist camp.

I feel that I know you a bit from your erudite posts, and now I see you must have some very interesting conversations at home.

If your beliefs are pagan or animist then they aren't going to be much in the way of a package of elaborate rules and promised rewards, underpinned by a convoluted mythology, so there'd be relatively little for the atheists on the radio show to get their teeth into.

You're right. Faith-belief based on prophet-revealed knowledge about creator gods, that is easy to debunk. Well, although shallow the field is very wide, so it is like whacking moles. Not exactly easy, just not very complicated.

How can one be both atheist and pagan? That appears to be mutually contradictory to me.

I might start shunning you too soon. I reckon it could burnish my image here.

Does your wife dance around a camp fire half naked? Sounds like fun. Where's the camp?

Paganism typically does not labor under a load of doctrine in need of intellectual underpinnings and proofs of gods' existence. It is typically straight-forward celebration of life's rhythms, the bounty of nature, solar and cosmic cycles (solstices, that sort of thing). Dancing in tune with Nature....

Buddhism can be interpretted in a fairly atheistic light


Yes, belief in gods is optional for Buddhists.
