I'm afraid I have to disagree, ecchi... and being a pagan myself, I believe I have informed grounds on which to do so. The nice thing about being a pagan is that we only have one hard and fast rule pertaining to not doing harm to others. Beyond that, we are free to choose what/whom, when, where, and how we practice, down to writing our own customized grimoires (personal "bibles").
But the best part about practicing the Craft is tolerance... you'll never hear a true witch running down another person's religious preferences. Unlike other "religions" that don't follow the same tolerance guidelines, I just don't see wars cropping up between nature worshipping factions.
Of course that's just my 2 cents. Your mileage may vary
