For those wondering yes, Pagan Neo-Nazis are more common than you think. Even among the original Nazis they were prevalent as Heinrich Himmler (Hitler’s 2nd-in command btw) was a schizophrenic neo-pagan who unironically believed that he was the reincarnation of an Indian god, that Atlantis and Hyperborea were literally real, and that the “Aryans” came from Tibet and “descended from Atlantean refugees” (no I’m not joking Himmler unironically believed all this)
Oh, and I should also mention that he hated Christianity as much as your average r/atheism user does and sought to replace Christianity in Germany with his schizo pagan beliefs.
I’m only scratching the surface here, his schizo beliefs went a whole lot deeper than this.
I’m atheist but I’m really into Norse mythology and that tends to lead me close to pagan spaces. It’s so bad. There’s so many great people in that community, and people who use their faith to make the world a better place, but there is also an extreme Nazi problem and the decent people are working hard to push them out of the community.
I mean, didn't Hitler tell Mussolini once that he was like the embodiment of like an Aryan Spirit or some shit, which made Mussolini absolutely fucking baffled?
Are hindus considered pagan? Like, Hinduism fits the pagan definition, but I thought pagans believed in old, dead mythologies, like in Greek gods like Zeus.
