Just so I understand.
Are you saying being part of a denomination like Baptist,(by the way
isn't "non-denominational" a "denomination" being as it is not one of
the other groups) humanistic and/or pagan?  Is that what you are saying.
I ask that because I always thought I knew what both a pagan and a
humanist was and the tenets of both of those entities do not match at
all what I believe as a Christian who goes to a church with Baptist on
the sign to be.
But, I do think we are making some progress here and I appreciate your
time.

I really do not understand what you are saying here.  My point is that
pagan 
idolitry and humanism have not place in the church.  What exactly is
your 
point?
