The sub-flavors are important. Jainism, Wicca, Asatru, Evangelical, Catholic, etc… all have different world views, expectations etc… some are fairly benign, others are not.
Asatru is the one I liked as a child, when I discovered them on Yahoo! Directory
They set the tone to understand the real nature of the Catholicism that was forced on me (by atheist parents, just “to fit in”) and from there it was a breeze.
Well assuming you write off the secular flavors aka secular Judaism, and I’ve seen at least one secular Wiccan blog.
That said, a little magical thinking never hurt anyone so long as it’s fairly confined. Also lots of folks just looking for community without going all in on dogma.

Definitely. However, they’re all (to my understanding) based on some level of irrational, magical thinking. And that’s bad for society in general.

“A little magical thinking” here and there is why Florida now no longer requires childhood vaccines for public schools.
We are seeing the direct results of normalizing pseudoscience and anti-intellectualism (which seem to be inexorably linked).
