The Animist Evangelical showing up with an encyclopedia of deities?
Thanks. Now I’m having an existential crisis about whether an Encyclopaedia of Deities would be filed under Reference or Fiction. Animism is something I don’t know about; but each to their own I suppose. I remember one girl saying it was tantamount to paganism but the reception she got suggested the room didn’t agree with her. I can’t really comment.
"Paganism" carries a lot of political and theological baggage, particularly among Christian Evangelicals, such that calling something "pagan" can be seen as derogatory rather than explanatory.
I was not aware of that. Things are different where I live. Pagan has no real negative connotation here. In the land of Druids and the Eisteddfod anyone claiming paganism would be ok; plus Christian Evangelicalism ain’t really a thing over here.
