Anyone Who Subscribes to the Atheopagan Principles
may be an Atheopagan cleric
Atheopaganism holds as Sacred the living Earth, Love, Beauty and Truth. We have 13 Principles we live by. The Atheopagan Society believes that all people are naturally born equal and endowed with the right to control their own spiritual life, and thus that all those who feel so called should have access to ordination.
In order to be ordained as a “cleric” in our religious path, we ask only that people endorse the 13 Atheopagan Principles, which are common-sense, modern ethical precepts.
In Atheopaganism, being a cleric is a service role to the community, not an elevation to “higher status”. We are all fundamentally equal.
