And this one's a Wiccan Atheist.
Right. I'll be happy to defend that position later, but just to summarise: Wicca is a way of looking at the world that suits me, personally. I'm not going to try to convince anyone to come dance in the forest with me.
But where many Wiccans see gods with traits and personalities, I see only the forces of nature. That these forces are part of the natural order and not beyond it only adds to the beauty I perceive. In my mind, the mysteries of the world are often surpassed by the truths behind them, waiting for us to reach out and grab them with Science.
On a more general note, I'm twenty years old, Swedish, and I'm in Scotland, studying towards a degree in Neuroscience. Nice to meet you.
