The earth was our source of sustenance and our home, but free of gender. The earth received the seed, the nannys were impregnated by the billys, and mama had babies. In Hellenic myths, the pantheon went through trial, after victory, after rape, after sacrifice. In theory, as long as all are working within their True Will, there is no conflict. Taking away the freedom of another rescinds your right to that same freedom.
Freedom is a huge concept.
One can not claim freedom oneself, and at the same time disallow it to others. Freedom based on subjugation is not freedom, but tyranny. Religion is a structure of relationships and necessitates a shared language. Religion dictates, in many ways more than law, the behavior of a given people. Neopaganism espouses a doctrine based in honoring and healing the earth and each other.
