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.

I myself am more in the atheist camp.

Originally posted by @apathistIf 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.

Originally posted by @fmfYou'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.

Originally posted by @fmfPaganism 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....
