There's something I find kind of inspiring about Humanistic Judaism, founded by Rabbi Sherwin Wine in the 60s as a non-theistic "religion" that adapts traditional practices to focus on how humans, not some personal god, have shaped the culture and history of the Jewish people. But I don't really care much for "cultural Christianity", nor has that been a big part of my life beyond things like highly secularized conceptions of Christmas and Easter. So who wants to join me in founding a church where the liturgy is based on Anglo-Scottish border ballads about outlaws and fairies? (I suppose various forms of neopaganism are just the more theistic form of the same idea. Though often also weak on historicity, since in many places we have extremely fragmentary evidence for what the pre-Christian religious practices were actually like.)
