The main thing American neo-Paganism has in common with Atheism is a built in disdain for Christianity and Western civilization that comes from decades of these movements being little more than a leftist subculture. Wicca specifically, and to a lesser extent neo-Paganism in general, has stopped being a religious movement and become an arm of leftism, a tool used by the hard left to attack traditional Western institutions like Christianity and its progenitor Judaism. Atheism, once the simply philosophical stance of disbelief, similarly has been used for years to undermine Western civilization’s Judeo-Christian values (which are the children of the Pagan West) without giving much thought to what will replace those values once they are successful.

Dawkins, however, has finally caught on. The author of The God Delusion was quoted in this Times Online piece on the sad state of Christianity in England as saying this:

Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, said: “There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death. I have mixed feelings about the decline of Christianity, in so far as Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse.”

Translation: I sure wish those Christians would protect me from militant Islam.

Which is the lesson Wiccans and certainly gays in America should take away from the quote. Post-Enlightenment, Post-Reformation Christianity acts as a stabilizing influence in countries, allowing Pagans, gays and a variety of other people to practice whatever it is they practice in peace. Not so the Religion of Peace, fetishized by the gay left and Neo-Pagans as some sort of fellow travelers fighting the evil Christianists, but who in reality routinely practice violence against these groups even here in America. There is no Muslim country where Witches will not be put to death (next to gays) and there are now areas in America where gays can simply expect to be assaulted by Muslims.

Meanwhile gays and Wiccans march in “solidarity” with militant Islamists. But as the Left/Islamist alliance achieves its goals of destroying Western Civilization from within, what then happens to the Wiccans who find themselves in Islamist controled “no-go zones” like they already have in France? What has happened to gays in Europe?

It is easy to attack Christianity in America because Christians, especially those on the right, are of the belief that such attacks are ultimately good for their faith and the by-product of Free Will which is a God given gift to humanity. Even the most sinister figures to emerge from the Satanic Panic, like Ted Gunderson, have been proven by history to be leftists first, Christians second. Gunderson himself is a 9/11 truther and was an anti-Bush activist. His continued promotion of Satanic conspiracies was largely a product of his ideology which was encouraged by the left. And we would all do well to remember that the first debunkings of Michelle Remembers, the genesis of the S.R.A. movement, appeared in fundamentalist Christian magazines.

Unsurprisingly, Islamists are infiltrating and utilizing the conspiracy underground. The same Islamists that Starhawk and Queers for Palestine pal around with so often.

And many of these will adopt anti-gay and anti-Wiccan stances as soon as they have the power to do anything about it. Wiccans and gays will not be able to defend themselves from Islamist violence and they will find themselves, like Dawkins, hoping for a resurgence in faith among the Christians if only to protect them from the Muslim mob.

I’m a known Pagan and practitioner. I’m free to do so openly because the institution of Christianity in America really doesn’t care what I do, and Wiccans and gays know this. In fact, I have many right leaning Christians and Jews who politely ignore religious topics with me. My freedom to worship as I please, interrupted with the occasional sharing of the “good news” by evangelicals, is more important to me than the radical pose of anti-Christianity which only leads to the radical ends of the collapse of Western Civilization and the destruction of the way of life that allows me to practice. When there is no West, where will we who follow the Western Traditions turn?
