Historically... Yea actually. Pagans loved and worshiped nature and were pretty egalitarian compared to the Christian empires which forced an oppressive, patriarchal hierarchy.

The divine is disgusting.

    who do you mean with pagans? It's an exonym so do you mean everyone who is not a christian? Because that is an easy bar to pas, since history has been long and religions have been many. Did you have a specific culture in mind?

    Edit: The point I wanted to get to, is that if we start looking around at historical cultural/religious practices around the world, it won't take you long to find pretty questionable practices (from a contemporary humanist perspective) including all of the things you mentioned both in and outside of Christianity

    Edit: You know what, you probably already know all of this, I guess the word pagans just tripped me up. Have a good night haha.
