They're more interested in the woodland frolicking & the liturgy & ritual that inevitably includes nudity & orgies. Oh, oh...and those really cool gods & godesses, celestial symbols, pretty crystals, & "Goth" robes....it's all so spiritually uplifting!

I've never been able to get one of them to explain how Ireland so quickly and thoroughly converted to Christianity without coercion or bloodshed if the Druidry was so well-loved and spiritually fulfilling. If I can get an answer at all

The dark gods of antiquity ruled by fear and death and frequently demanded blood. The Light of Christ shown brightly among the people and freed them. As it does and will for those who will follow it today.

But it's all theater to these neo-pagans. Their "scholarship" is either abysmally poor or outright fabrication. In fact, I would have bit more respect for the lot if they did knock off a willing sacrificial virgin or two in the name of their gods. At least they'd be true to their roots and people could see them for the death-cult they are.
