Secular Paganism on Religious Evangelism

  Table of Contents

 

Below is a Secular Pagan Party Pamphlet titled "Spreading Your Gods: Building a Pagan Culture for a Secular Pagan State". This pamphlet draws on all the data generated on Secular Paganism—its initial definition, the Constitution of the Secular Pagan State in America, the Secular Pagan Party Constitution, the Party Manifesto, the psychological profile of members, the constitutional review, the economic pamphlet, the agnostic state essay, the bi-theism essay, and the soft polytheism/shituf pamphlet—to explain how, despite its agnostic stance, Secular Paganism encourages citizens to spread plural gods or none to foster a pagan culture that willingly upholds its laws. It emphasizes the Party’s secular neutrality while promoting private evangelism as a civic virtue, with "Spread your gods" as the critical first phase of a Secular Pagan takeover.

Spreading Your Gods: Building a Pagan Culture for a Secular Pagan State

Introduction: The Agnostic State and the Pagan Call
Comrades of the Secular Pagan Party, we march under the Four Pillars—"Spread your gods, spread your law, spread your sword, spread your children"—to forge a Secular Pagan State in America. Our state is agnostic, not preaching gods or atheism, yet it thrives only when a vibrant pagan culture upholds its laws. The Constitution of the Secular Pagan State bans monotheism but mandates no faith; it critiques all beliefs yet leaves your soul unbound. How, then, do we build this state? Through you—our members and citizens—spreading your belief in plural gods or none. This pamphlet reveals how Secular Paganism, though neutral, promotes this private evangelism as a civic virtue, with "Spread your gods" as the first pillar and first phase of our takeover. A pagan society must rise before our laws can reign—your mission begins here.

The Agnostic State: No Religion, No Atheism, Just Law

Secular Paganism is not a religion—it’s a legal system, as our initial definition declares: "not about making you believe in something but making you follow laws" to preserve ethical polytheism. The essay on the agnostic state affirms this: "Our state establishes no sacred pantheon, no high priest, no divine mandate." Law 1.6 ensures "no laws outlawing agnosticism or atheism," and Amendment I mandates critique of all beliefs, pagan included. The Party holds no religious functions, names no gods in its oaths, and celebrates no holy days—only secular rest days mark our calendar.

This neutrality is our strength. The Constitutional review notes that we replace the U.S. Constitution’s broad liberty with "a militant, polytheistic legalism," but we don’t evangelize from the top. The state won’t preach Thor, Gaia, or godlessness—it’s agnostic, a blank slate enforcing the Seven Categories of Laws. Yet this blankness demands a culture to fill it, and that’s where you come in.

Spread Your Gods: The First Pillar, The First Phase

"Spread your gods" is the first of our Four Pillars, and it’s no accident—it’s the foundation of our revolution. The Manifesto calls it a rallying cry: "Encourage the worship of three or more deities and resist monotheistic domination." The Party Constitution’s oath binds you to "uphold the Four Pillars," starting with this. Why? Because a Secular Pagan State cannot stand without a substantially pagan society. Our laws—banning monotheism, protecting blasphemy, enforcing pluralism—require a people who willingly embrace them, not just obey them under duress.

The takeover begins with culture, not coercion. The bi-theism essay argues that "only through multiplicity can we spread our gods," and the soft polytheism pamphlet insists on "true, distinct plurality." A society of hard polytheists, agnostics, and atheists—free of monotheism’s grip—must emerge before the Seven Categories can take root. The state won’t install this culture; you will. "Spread your gods" is the first phase: saturate your nation with plural beliefs or none, creating a pagan bedrock for our laws to stand on.

Private Evangelism as Civic Virtue

While the Secular Pagan State remains silent on faith, it upholds your right—your duty—to spread your belief systems as a civic virtue. Law 2.1 guarantees "no law limiting the freedom to blaspheme any god," and Amendment I protects speech, including evangelism. The agnostic state essay notes: "You are free to craft any religious system you desire" within our bounds—three or more gods, or none. The Party Manifesto urges: "Spread hard polytheism’s truth—or embrace agnosticism’s freedom." This isn’t just permission; it’s a call to action.

The Party itself avoids gods—our functions are secular, our rhetoric rational—but we encourage you to evangelize. Worship Odin and preach his might; honor a triad of your own making; argue for atheism’s clarity. The economic pamphlet advises: "Start small—recruit one, critique one, birth one"—and this applies to faith too. Share your gods or godlessness with neighbors, build communities, host rites—privately, boldly, freely. The state won’t join you, but it will protect your voice, seeing this as the lifeblood of a pagan culture.

Why Promote Spreading Beliefs? A Pagan Culture Upholds the State

Our agnostic state doesn’t teach religion or atheism because it trusts you to create the culture we need. The psychological profile of our members—open, rebellious, purpose-driven—fits this: you’re not here for dogma but to fight for a pluralistic future. The Constitutional review shows that "diversity of gods" is our priority; the Party Constitution’s membership welcomes "anyone affirming the Seven Categories and rejecting monotheism." A society of polytheists and non-theists, willingly spreading their beliefs, ensures our laws—anti-monotheism, pro-blasphemy, pluralistic—aren’t just enforced but embraced.

Without this culture, our takeover falters. The bi-theism essay warns that "two gods risk monotheism or gridlock"; the soft polytheism pamphlet calls out "monotheism in disguise." If monotheism lingers, our laws lack legitimacy—citizens won’t tolerate blasphemy or reject one-god creeds unless paganism or atheism dominates. The Manifesto’s promise—"a society that grows through the diversity of many gods"—relies on you making it so. Spread your gods, and the laws will follow.

How to Spread Your Gods: Practical Steps

Your evangelism is the first phase—here’s how to do it:

1. Live Your Belief: Worship openly—hold rituals, wear symbols, or declare your atheism—showing others what pluralism looks like.
2. Recruit and Teach: Share your faith or lack thereof—one convert, one skeptic turned, builds our base. The economic pamphlet’s advice fits: "Form alliances with polytheists, atheists, and anti-monotheists."
3. Challenge Monotheism: Use Law 2’s blasphemy right—mock one-god creeds, critique their flaws, and draw people to the many or none.
4. Build Communities: Start pagan or secular groups—families, covens, discussion circles—mirroring "spread your children" to grow our numbers.
5. Stay Within the Law: Keep it plural—three or more gods, no soft polytheism or shituf—and the state will shield you.

The Party won’t host these efforts—our rallies are secular, our oaths godless—but we’ll cheer you on. The agnostic state essay notes: "Citizens must request time off for festivals," so plan your own, free from state dictate. This liberty is your power.

The Payoff: A Willing Pagan Culture

When you spread your gods or none, you pave the way for "spread your law." A society steeped in hard polytheism or atheism—rejecting monotheism’s tyranny—will demand our Seven Categories: banning one-god faiths, protecting blasphemy, fostering pluralism. The Party Constitution’s victory clause (Article IX) promises that upon power, we’ll "enact the Secular Pagan State Constitution"—but only a pagan culture makes this possible. Your evangelism isn’t just personal—it’s political, the first strike in our takeover.

Conclusion: Your Voice, Our Victory

Secular Paganism’s agnostic state doesn’t preach, but it promotes you to spread your belief in plural gods or none. The Party holds no religious torch—our flame is secular—but we light yours, urging you to build a pagan culture that willingly upholds our laws. "Spread your gods" is our first pillar, our first phase; without a substantially pagan society, our revolution stalls. The state won’t evangelize, but it hails your efforts as a civic virtue—your freedom to speak, to convert, to create is our strength. Take up this call, Party faithful—spread your gods, grow our ranks, and prepare the ground for a Secular Pagan State where pluralism triumphs. The future waits—make it ours.

Notes on the Pamphlet:

1. Agnostic Stance: Reiterates the state’s neutrality (Laws 1.6, 2.2, Amendment I) from the agnostic state essay, contrasting it with citizen action.
2. Spread Your Gods: Ties the first pillar to cultural groundwork, aligning with the Manifesto and takeover strategy (Party Constitution, Article IX).
3. Civic Virtue: Frames private evangelism as a duty, reflecting the psychological profile’s purpose-driven rebels and Law 2’s speech protections.
4. Cultural Necessity: Links a pagan society to law enforcement, echoing the bi-theism and soft polytheism critiques on pluralism’s role.
5. Tone: Motivational and practical, suited for a pamphlet, urging members to act within the Party’s secular framework.
