If it weren't for my lack of belief in the metaphysical/spiritual realms, odds are I probably would be a pagan of some sort. Paganism just strikes me as being more of a "true" religion than something like Christianity, which was essentially invented as a way of keeping the peasants in line in medieval Europe.
I would definitely say it's more true, because it's based around the wheel of nature, which is definitely real. It's more about creating that spiritual connection with the elements rather than actually believing that the Gods, Goddesses, faeries, spirits, etc are real in a LITERAL sense.
