Secular Paganism offers what modern Christianity has largely forgotten: a way of living that honors the Earth, the body, and the seasons without requiring belief in gods. It embraces ritual and meaning not as obligations to the supernatural, but as expressions of our deep connection to nature and each other.

Today’s Christianity often feels abstract and disembodied. It turns the sacred into something distant - above us, beyond us - while the world we live in becomes merely a testing ground for the next. In doing so, it cuts us off from the cycles that once gave life rhythm: the solstices, the harvests, the rites of passage that marked our place in the world. It has traded rootedness for doctrine.

By contrast, Secular Paganism offers festivals, myths, and ceremonies that align us with the living world. It teaches that the Earth deserves the same reverence as a cathedral. That morality can grow from reverence for life - not fear of punishment. That beauty, joy, and physical presence are not sins but sacred.

The divine is not a distant authority but a pattern - visible in the turning of the seasons, the pulse of the body, the bond of community. In returning to this way of seeing, we do not regress. We recover something essential

Based. if we do become pagan once again, Latin and Ancient Greek should become part of the standard education

Sounds like traditional Catholicism already offers all of that and with a better pedigree.

Since Proto-IndoEuropean paganism is ortopraxical, it's basically secular already
