... is it proselytizing to encourage others to study and appreciate nature/gods through the sciences, the arts, and life experience?
On occasion, I ask myself this question. I'm a Pagan Druid. For me and others on similar paths, that which is worthy of worship - the gods - is the world and the universe and everything in it. In my professional life, it is part of my job to serve as a science advocate, specifically for the earth and life sciences which are a major source of knowledge and inspiration in my religion (aka, science is the study of the gods). Is this, in effect, proselytizing? Why or why not?
