Secular paganism

Secular paganism, alternately called naturalistic paganism or humanistic paganism, is an outlook upholding virtues and principles associated with modern paganism while revering the Earth and maintaining a secular worldview--a form of religious naturalism. Approaches to secular paganism vary, but typically include the respect for living creatures and the Earth itself, while rejecting belief in deities. Secular pagans may recognize goddesses/gods as useful metaphors for different cycles of life, or reframe magic as a purely psychological practice. The specific path of Atheopaganism was developed in the twenty-first century, as guided by the Atheopagan Society.
