Atheism: I deny the existence of a God of any kind. Feminist Spirituality: I join with others in reclaiming the Divine Feminine through honoring the sacredness of the earth and all forms and aspects of the Goddess. Theism: I find support and challenge in a God with whom I (long to) feel a personal relationship.
