https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/midsummer-the-festival-of-ease
An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. Midsummer: The Sabbath of Ease. June 13, 2015. June 13, 2015. We’re now in the long, golden days of the Northern Hemisphere summer, approaching the very longest day: Midsummer. So what do humans do when they have time available? They play, and they create art and culture! So I encourage you to enjoy this kindest of seasons, when school is out and days are warm and life is less of a struggle than it is a pleasure. A gracious and happy Midsummer to all! Dive th...

What Atheopaganism Won’t Do for You – Atheopaganism
https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/what-atheopaganism-wont-do-for-you
An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. What Atheopaganism Won’t Do for You. June 7, 2015. June 7, 2015. Recently, I have experienced some severe life challenges. A period of disability followed by a one of unemployment drained my savings away. I finally landed a good job with a great organization…only to be told, one paycheck in, by my landlord of 18 years that my beautiful home has been sold and I must move by Sept. 1. Without any money. And 18 years’ worth of accumulated possessions. Of further ...

The Truest Safety Net – Atheopaganism
https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/the-truest-safety-net
An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. The Truest Safety Net. July 3, 2015. July 3, 2015. I called my brother yesterday, for his birthday. I left a message. I haven’t heard from him in eighteen months…although I did the same thing last year, too. We last spoke in January of 2014. I think that the very topics of mental health and poverty terrify him so much that it’s just easier for him to avoid them. So I don’t blame him. Much. Wikipedia, that infallible source of redoubtable knowledge, defines an...

Atheopaganism and Learning to Love – Atheopaganism
https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/ap-and-learning-to-love
An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. Atheopaganism and Learning to Love. July 31, 2015. July 31, 2015. As humans, we can’t really help but view many of our relationships as transactional: I give you X, and you give me Y. If I’m extra-good/nice/obedient, you may give me Z. It’s how we learn to relate to our parents, and sadly, many adult relationships are still based on a transactional model. If they were not, there would be no such thing as diamond jewelry. We love the Universe. To love. Eve...

Why Atheopaganism? – Atheopaganism
https://atheopaganism.wordpress.com/atheopaganism
An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. Atheopaganism was initially conceptualized by me, Mark Green*. I am a lifelong atheist, and have never even for a second had reason to doubt that point of view. However, I find that most outspoken atheists err seriously in their understanding of the function and value of religious practice in building community, inculcating values and gratitude, and otherwise enriching a human life. However, if you think you’re going to get into a debate here about how real y...

Atheopagan – Atheopaganism

An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. On the Edge of Darkness: Hallows Reflections 2016. October 31, 2016. October 31, 2016. It’s a gray, dim day here in Sonoma County, under a foreboding blanket of low and heavy clouds. Forecasts are for showers throughout the day; it’s one of those Halloweens where parents crane their necks and scowl at the sky throughout the day, wondering whether they’ll get away with a dry window during trick or treating. I think what strikes me this year at Hallows is that ...

An Earth-honoring religion rooted in science. A Pagan Opportunity to Reflect. October 15, 2016. October 15, 2016. Recently, John Beckett wrote on “ A Pagan Crisis of Faith. Unsurprisingly, I have a different take. I think that when crises arise in life, it is an opportunity for us to. Comforting illusions: to realize that there are no Big Powers pulling strings around us nor “guiding” us to some apparently desired outcome. They happen every day. Step back and think. Really consider whether it makes any s...
