And lets face it, the lighter side of paganism isn't nearly as horrific or fun as the darker side for story telling, just as there's probably a case to be made that there really is more to catholicism than that handy exorcism ritual. But you can't talk about the Catholic church without remembering the Inquisition, or paganism without the much vaunted (if not invented) blood sacrifices...it'd be like voodoo without dead chickens. *g*
I stick to my guns that as far as Supernatural is concerned all of the religions, major and minor, are simply tools not of faith or actual deism as much as they come with such handy and infinitely twistable rituals and histories.
