The more we know about the universe, the better equipped we are to weather its challenges
My religion also says ignorance is sin but there are also a fucktonne of very content sinners in our ranks, sadly.
Could be worse a solid contingent of the followers of my god are Nazis. Neo paganism is fun.
I used to be norse flavored neopagan, I get you. Can't do a single rune wheel without someone putting a swastika next to it...
Luckily ive hybridized it with my kins folk belief system, synchronizing Odin with ancestor worship, a form of animism, and a semi Christianized version of a Celtic hunting god isn't too hard. Helps water it down especially since I don't really focus on any of the war aspects unless I am actively in a meltdown.
I'm kind of impressed with your eclecticness but honestly you can't ever really go wrong with animism
Eclecticness is honestly pretty standard for folk beliefs especially ones that may have pre Christian roots that have been evolving constantly since, also fun fact my kins weird form of animism also applies to machinery as well. From what I can tell it started with my 3x great grandfather with the term "fae of the engine" in reference to locomotives.
