Probably the main issue I had with religion is that it didn't allow me to connect with nature, or the things around me. Religion made connecting with a tree insignificant, as a tree is just a creation made by "god", and is insignificant and not worthy of praise or love in comparison. Frankly I found a "creator" who wanted all the praise to himself to be creepy and disgusting.

I’ll say this once and one time only on here.
We need things to get considerably worse, not these kosher nationalist pressure relief valves like Trump that slow our progress. We’re thriving in this climate and lose speed when the kosher nationalists are in power as people think we’re in somewhat good hands or things are improving.

Addressing some of these points in the following 2 posts and the supposed "debate" of what Paganism is.👇🏻
Nobody is saying throw out all the "primary sources". What has been suggested is that relying heavily on "primary sources", as they were preserved by christians, isn't a wise practice. Furthermore, ancient writings are just a tiny part of Paganism.
If you follow a script, you are religious. Religion is being bound to scripture. The etymology of the word has been debated, but is often agreed to mean, "to bind or tie". Religion is to be bound to ideas, ideas that don't necessarily represent reality. Religion is inflexible, unevolving, and often dogmatic.
If you follow reality gained from shared observation and experience, you are Pagan. Paganism adheres to the realities and laws of nature, and by "nature" this doesn't only mean nature as in trees and bees, etc, but the nature of reality. The nature of how things work. The foundation of paganism is being connected to reality, to nature and it's laws.
"Traditions" are formed as expressions of observed reality. Typical thought is that following ancestral "tradition" makes you pagan, but this is backwards. You're pagan first, and from that, comes tradition. Being pagan is what creates tradition.
Addressing these two comments:
#1 "Never mind that all the concepts and language that reason depends on come from religion" - Reason and religion are pretty much the opposite of each other. As stated above, religion is inflexible and follows a script, regardless if it true or not. Reason comes from the mind, and observance of reality, experience, and testing. Reason, as logic, is to weigh variables and come to a conclusion.
#2 "Never mind that everything they know about pagan religion ultimately comes from primary sources" - Again this has been addressed above. Being pagan is not a "religion". Being Pagan is a way of existing, a way of living in accordance with nature. It doesn't come from any ancient written source. It doesn't stem from any era, it exists in all eras and at all times.
