NMDV, but I have no idea what your quote is supposed to mean.

It ties into several pagan themes; this-worldliness, nature-worship, immanence, pantheism, anti-dogmatism and the continuity and durability of these ideas.

Okay. Well people here tend to like this-worldliness and anti-dogmatism but tend to dislike nature-worship, 'immanence' and pantheism. So that pretty much explains the downvotes.

Compare to the first one which is a poem about how science is way cooler than religion. It's like rationalist catnip. I wouldn't take it personally.
