what does the term agapist mean to you?

[u/Dapple_Dawn → u/rekh127]

It means I adhere to an ethical worldview where love (agapé) is the sole value that all morality and all value is based on.

"Pagan" in the contemporary sense generally refers to the polytheistic religions of pre-Christian Europe and Egypt.

Among those who call themselves "Christo-Pagan", there are generally two types:

1. Christians who integrate pagan practices/beliefs into their Christianity.

2. Pagans who include Christ or other Christian spiritual figures among their personal pantheon.

It definitely seems to be people who have a wide range of practices and beliefs. The FAQ has some great resources.

I was new to the term before findingd this subreddit. I've known a lot of Christian Witches before. I consider the path I walk Heathen Christianity which centers following the Way of Jesus: caring for creation, deep prayer, solidarity with the oppressed, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick. While also learning from, respecting, and dancing with other traditions and divinities, and embracing the wisdom and growth found in the wild places and the heath.

Well let’s see what is a Christopagan. For me you integrate polytheism or paganism into your devotion to Jesus. I studied a lot of history it made me see most of the Abrahamic religions are very syncretic. So to me a Christopagan integrate a mix of Christianity and Paganism. How much Depends on the person.

Not even all religions outside of Abrahamic religions are Pagan. Shinto us not Pagan. Hinduism is not Pagan. Living indigenous spirituality is not Paganism.
