520 |a In the United States, Christianity’s customs, calendar, and behaviors have long influenced scholarship on what religion looks like. Is this template useful for studying other religions, such as Neopaganism? Neopaganism is a set of earth-based, often polytheistic or animistic religions that lack a central authority, organized structure, or accepted texts, and often accept diverse relationships as “families” beyond heteronormative monogamy. In this research, I explore whether measures of religiosity developed on a Christian template can be applied to Neopagans. I utilize Faith Activities In the Home Scale (FAITHS). I apply FAITHS in self-administered questionnaires to a sample of Neopagans from attendees at gatherings called “festivals”, asking about both individual and family experiences. My results indicate that FAITHS can be useful; however, the principal component analysis reveals different item scaling for Neopagans than in the original analysis. My results also support the individualistic nature of Neopaganism when comparing both individual and family-setting results.
