Me again 
I don't mean to drag this out and cause arguments but I think some people don't quite understand what the term "pagan" means. Pagan or paganism in itself isn't a religion, it isnt anything other than a term that can be attached to a multitude of non-abrahamic faiths but these days it is generally linked to any number of rehashed and/or recently invented beliefs and also to some genuinely older beliefs. What it isn't is a term for nature worship, although some pagans do so many other pagans dont.
Anyway, my point wasnt to define what a pagan is or isnt but more to point out that in a shtf situation, in my (humble ) opinion, I would question the judgement of someone who as an adult believes in what i would describe as fairy tales. So taking their belief in religion/fairytales into account I would not want to potentially trust them with my life.
No wonder I have trouble finding a suitable group - no religious nuts, no sheep, no chavs, no socialists, no......

You have the right to hold any beliefs you want. You do not have the right to have those beliefs automatically respected
