Adherents of neopaganism would find their spiritual life elevated by educating and involving themselves instead with something with a coherent theology, philosophy, history, and community.

I will have to hold off until tomorrow before I can offer a good answer for this. Partly because I’m about to sleep. My only immediate (and sleepy) thought is that I suspect folk religions fall under a separate category of consideration due to many cultural elements that seem shifted and unaligned with the neopaganism I’m targeting. I also suspect that, while I might have comparable personal issues with folk religions in a purely philosophical sense, I would be far less likely to suggest to an adherent that they should disavow such a practice. Why it is that I suspect that is something I can’t express clearly at the moment - but somehow I sense a difference nonetheless.

I’ll think over this and get back to you.
