I'm a fairly militant atheist too, but I have less problems with paganistic beliefs than some of the more "modern" religions (Judeo-Christianity, Islam). At least with paganism you can see that it was our fore-bearers trying to explain changing seasons and so on. And the stories they spun were full of imagination and colour, esp. some of the Celtic and Norse ones. If some people want to lap up Hollywood's latest offerings, then I have little problem with others enjoying the stories of old. It's when people start linking arms in front of abortion clinics, stoping genomic/stem-cell research and buying political influence that I start to get hot under the collar.
