Americans are looking for a divinity that is part of nature rather than an external creator; meaning, morality, and metaphysical experience that can be sought in communion with the world rather than a leap toward the transcendent. Paganism provides this and more. In paganism, the purpose of religion and spirituality is therapeutic; it is a means of seeking harmony with nature and happiness in the everyday, which is meaningful and not random, a place where we can truly hope to be at home.
