>The fact that they can't even write a single article of faith shows how much of a non religion they are.
Stop thinking like a scripture bound monotheist.
As I stated in another thread.

The non reliance on one true path is a strength, not a weakness, provided the immediate "tribe" area has some sort of cohesion at least.
And while that, indeed, was stronger in the past, the same can be said about Christianity, with everyone having their "own PERSONAL relationship with him (even though he's supposed to be in heaven, which is not your 'heart')".
Not to mention all the denominations.
Also, faith is faith, that's why even actual delusions can manifest themselves in tangible, physical actions. Even involuntary things like mental illness.
If my particular area believes that there is a spirit in the local, nearby forest and you have to do something to appease it or something, then those people might, even today, unironically do so.
That's why even after 2 milennia, MILENNIA with nary a "spiritual text" or anything, people in Germany still smash earthware before a wedding to bring luck. (And test the couple for cooperation during hardship)
Still burn groomspants to signify that his life is changing, still nail bridesshoes to a tree after the wedding so she "can't run off"
And that's just one example, and a very jew countering one, too. Kikes smash glass for their wedding, for example.
Germans would *never* do that, because Glass signifies happiness (a reason why some kikes actually name themselves Glass instead of somthing more obvious like Ruby(Rubin) and so forth)
Even worse would be shattering a mirror. Which causes bad luck even in 2017, unironically, in many.
There's a lot of "superstitions" that are unironically still observed, or would be if the things they pertain to were still more prevalent.
Like building a ship. Would YOU risk building your ship without at least a LITTLE bit of Ash wood? It's one of the holiest trees AND it's connected to water and people, again, unironically have added ash wood to ships for that reason well into the modern time.
Same with naked ladies on the bow of the ship, althoug hthat is more Celtic in origin. The tits of the statue would either mollify or straight up intimidate storms.
Oh, and why is nautical speed calculated in knots? Because witches, unironically sold wind stored in strings and fabrics in the form of knots. You undo a knot and the wind will blow into your sails.
And you might just dismiss this as nothing, but please do reflect on the "marketing statement" of Christianity having fully conquered Europe, has fully conquered the minds of heathen savages who dropped all their backwards views for the incorruptible and fully valid and unassailable, infallible truth of Christianity.
Don't brush taht aside like many also brush aside omnipotence and omniscience, both very strong, mind blowingly strong attributes to rationalize even simple basic things like "How can a being that knows all at all times be 'surprised' by virtue of judgement of someone action?"
Often dismissed as babby tier philosophy garbage, but in reality this is a big deal, it's just not treated as one because if it were treated as something to ponder about then it would make no sense in the context of all knowingness at any point in time transcending past, present and future.
Etc.
Paganism is stronger than you think, and it is VERY EXTREMELY LIKELY that you are indulging in something even without knowing.
"In loving memory of" …why would you indulgue in the pagan notion of "honor" and "elvishness" by keeping memories of someone alive so they may live inside your heart? (A bit like jesus whom many rip out of the immaterial heaven to have a personal relationship with simply by learning and thinking about Jesus from a book, with without it he would never have existed, applying the pagan principle of immortalty through memory to even a GOD)
Naming someone after dead relatives, etc.
I could go on but who wants to read all that?
tl; dr;
If you think you're 100% christian and paganism is fully dead, you're wrong. Especially the more European you go. It really is as simple as that and only the nature of me getting banned for this all the time stops the potential torrent of more clues and info about this.
But you cannot ban reality, you acn only ban people posting on your imageboard, that's the only rech and dominion you have, it does not touch the real world.
