Political theology

edit

Editor2020: How is secular paganism as political theology off topic? It is entirely about viewing religious concepts as relevant in secularized forms, and we have at least one prominent guy (Marquard) who was an adherent of this kind of secular polytheism. I think it's as on topic as it gets, even if it comes from the academic world rather than a counter-cultural movement (which is a somewhat general difference between neopaganism in Europe and the US). There are other people who have written about paganism and polytheism as political theology, not least Jacob Taubes who had a very different view than Marquard, so the section can easily be expanded further.
