Why are most questions involving paganism/ Wiccans relegated to "folklore/mythology"?

Question

Strikes me they should be in the religion catagory. I know I exist in the current day.

Answer 1

This was asked yesterday... and I think the main reason is that they get tired of, "You're going to HELL! You Satan Worshipper!" kinds of answers.

I like answers from Pagans. Wish they'd come back...

Answer 2

Because for so long that is exactly what it was thought to be, merely myth and folklore. Gotta take into consideration that things like that, back in the day, were outlawed. Laws were against even believing that stuff existed. At one time, there were laws that were against even talking about that stuff as if it existed.

But don't worry, some of us Pagans are in here. *wink*

Answer 3

Stupidity of people who refuse to accept that it is a religion. You will find most book stores put the books in a New age or mythology section rather than the religion section. It is quite offensive.

Answer 4

Paganism still exists in these days. The bible says to stay well clear of it. why? Because anything that does not comply with the bible is part of Satan's system. And true Christians are warned not to have anything to do with it.
Galatians 5; 19-21
2 Corinthians 11; 14.15
Isaiah 8;19
Leviticus 19;31
2 Kings 21;6
(Deuteronomy 18:10-12) There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.

Answer 5

You get too many idiot responses on R&S. I go to Mythology and Folklore
for better questions and answers.
