Worshipping demons gets you critiqued, bud. Not like these heathens haven't talked up a storm of shit about the Church first

These are Hellenic pagans not devil worshipers bud, take that Medieval propaganda elsewhere.

They are threatened, maybe. Apparently Hellenism has hundreds of followers already.

Hellenism is by far the most serious pagan revival, really the only one I take seriously. They are very pious

If there are detailed ways to actually do that, I am 100% sure some have tried. Hellenismos is not LARP'ing

Correct, the character of Pan existed before the Christian character of the Devil.
Later Christian depiction of Pan as synonymous with the devil was deliberate slander of pagan beliefs.

I honestly don't think that these religions have a problem. Restoring old religions would be nice, if we could leave out all the death from it.

As one can tell by my signature, I’m all for the revival of the old faiths of Europe, especially the heathen Germanic faiths and glorious Greco-Roman faiths.

Heck, I’d prefer it to nearly anything. A pagan/heathen Europe is the best Europe.

If the eradication of the Abrahamic cults are required to solidify the revival of Europe into a greater form, then I pledge myself to that cause.

....yes?
In both Greek and Roman mythology Pan was related to nature, fertility, and shepherds.
The demon association is a later Christian invention.

It's really not complicated.

Pan is a Greek god associated with nature, not evil or corruption or any other thing devil-like. He does scare people, but that's about it as far as I know.

I’d allow or even assist the eradication or dismantling of Christianity, Islam and Judaism upon European soil.

If they are to remain in existence, I’d have them be a minority.
