"spread your gods, spread your law, spread your sword, spread your children"
Secular Paganism is not a religion, it is a legal system which preserves paganism and eradicates anti-idolatry, yet it is an Agnostic non-religious state which protects and even promotes blasphemy, even of pagan gods. Secular Paganism is not about making you believe in something but making you follow laws which prohibit certain kinds of expressed thinking and actions in order to prevent the replacement of ethical polytheism with monotheism. The reason why someone would fight and die for Secular Paganism is because they have an intense faith in many gods (or none) and see the rational and real need to protect them, each Secular Pagan fights to protect their own set of deities and to spread their worship and unites with other pagans to do so because it is logical. This is the essence of pagan natural law, laws that can be deduced without revelation or written scripture. We do not need monotheism to outlaw murder and theft, these are natural laws and were followed by pagan societies. It is natural law for pagans to unite to protect their common interest of maintaining polytheism. A second reason to fight is a moral conviction against the corrosive effects of monotheism, creating a single ideological and ethical culture which strangles out the moral diversity needed for growth, a diversity of ethics that still adheres to natural principles. Secular Paganism is an agreement between pagans to seven categories of laws, naturally derived, which are crafted to protect and promote polytheism while permitting agnosticism and atheism. The reasons these are followed is not because they are revealed by the gods but are rational concepts which can be derived by human intelligence and ethics.
The 7 Categories Of Laws
1. No unidolatrous religions or anti-idolatry, atheism and agnosticism are permitted
2. No laws prohibiting blasphemy or anti-blasphemy ideologies
3. No legal regulation of consensual sex between humans or shaming people for their legal sexuality, but maintain a high birth rate (at least double your numbers every generation)
4. No one may murder anyone
5. No one may steal from anyone
6. If you take the life or liberty of an animal be as humane as possible. Environmental damage is inevitable, but do not destroy nature more than is necessary.
7. Set up courts of justice to enforce these laws and act as a government
Sub Laws (Under Construction)
Law Governing Unidolatry and Anti-Idolatry:
1.1 No Monotheism, god cannot be one
1.2 No Bitheism, the gods cannot be two
1.3 The gods must be three or more
1.4 No religion that would be considered shituf by a Noahide court, so no intermediate between monotheism or monism and polytheism. No soft polytheism, no polymonism.
1.5 If the religion distinguishes between creator and non-creator deities there must still be multiple creator deities, not just one.
1.6 No legitimate anti-idolatrous sentiments are allowed in public, no anti-idolatry campaigns or speech.
1.7 No laws outlawing agnosticism or atheism
1.8 No anti-sorcery laws
1.9 A general criticism of idolatry is permitted. For example an atheist may spread doubt about the efficacy of idol worship or an agnostic may call idol worshp "stupid". What is meant by anti-idolatry (which is illegal) is an attempt to in speech, writing, or action criminalize idolatry.
Law Governing Blasphemy Laws (No Anti-Blasphemy)
2.1 The government may not pass any law limiting the freedom to blaspheme any god.
2.2 The government shall critique all belief systems in regards to their conformity with Secular Paganism and their logical, rational, ethical, and practical legitimacy, thus through criticism the government will blaspheme all religions, pagan and non-pagan.
2.3 Anti-blasphemy sentiments cannot be heard, seen, or witnessed in public.
2.4 A citizen accused of unidolatry can escape punishment by blaspheming the monotheistic or bitheistic god they are accused of worshiping.
Law Governing Consensual Human Sex and Reproduction
3.1 The government may not pass any law regulating sex between consenting adult humans.
3.2 No rape
3.3 The government must require each married couple to sign a marriage contract before marriage stipulating grounds for divorce. If the couple list adultery as grounds for divorce then the adulterer can be found at fault in a divorce.
3.4 No limit to the number of spouses one can marry
3.5 No limit to gender one can marry
3.6 The legal age of marriage and sexual adulthood is 18, sexual activity and marriage between adults over 18 and non-adults under 18 is prohibited
3.7 Prostitution and pornography is protected by law
3.8 No public shaming of someone for their legal sexuality
3.9 The government should seek to find any and all methods social and scientific to maintain a high rate of reproduction despite sexual liberation. The goal and duty of the government is to at least double the population every generation.
3.10 No bestiality
No Murder
4.1 No one may murder anyone
4.2 Unwilling human sacrifice counts as murder
4.3 Death in declared war is not murder

Animal and Environmental Welfare
6.1 If you take the life or liberty of an animal be as humane as possible.
6.2 Do not eat animals alive or tear their flesh while they are still living.
6.3 No Kosher or Halal Slaughter.
6.4 Keep some natural land for animals to use and live in.
6.5 Don't destroy the environment more than you need to.
6.6 Find ways to reduce pollution and environmental disturbance.
Command to Set Up Court-Governments
7.1 Set up courts of justice to enforce these laws and act as a government
7.2 The court-government must create punishments for breaking any of the laws of Secular Paganism. The punishment must be strong enough to deter people from committing crimes and the court can always decide in any case to hand out the death penalty.
7.3 No circumstantial evidence
7.4 For the crimes of unidolatry, anti-idolatry, or anti-blasphemy, it takes three witnesses to be prosecuted. Sex crimes take two witnesses and a victim can be a witness. For murder or theft it can take one credible witness if there is other corroberating evidence. If there is no corroborating evidence it takes two witnesses to be tried for murder or theft. Animal cruely and environmental destruction take two witnesses. Societies that do not set up court-governments are warred upon in any way possibe, physicialy or otherwise.
Secular Paganism will not succeed because of its low standards of sexual morality which Vincent Bruno refuses to acknowledge is too low to ensure that most parents are married parents properly invested in the parenting of their children.
