I'd like to see how many people on WP are one of the above for a personal study. Just post whatever you call yourself, if you please.

I really appreciate the aesthetics of wicca, and looked into it in my early college years; unfortunately, I don't find a female deity any more believable than a male one.

I consider myself pagan in some respects though I may not literally believe in the magic involved.

For the most part, I have little problem with the grouping of spiritualities that you've listed. They tend to focus on nature, even if they do have the need to personify that nature, the core of it all doesn't violate reality for the most part other than semantically, the way that the most "Religions" do.

I know more than one person who prescribes to Wicca, so as a result, i've managed to learn a bit about it.
And i can say openly... If a person truly believes that they "NEED" a religion to be happy, Wicca is a good thing to look at, even though in the next breath I'd argue with you as to why you'd need the religion in the first place.

I agree with many of the ideals of Paganism, but I don't subscribe to it. I don't think one needs religion to find happiness, and I just don't have the initiative to commit myself to any particular religion.
