The term "goddess" has recently found an ever more popular and secular use to describe female sex appeal the males succumb to. Young single ladies (see Bridget Jones) want to feel like a goddess. Extremely desirable actresses, singers, sportswomen and other lady celebrities are often described by Sunday press as sex goddesses (see Marilyn Monroe, Elle MacPherson, Kylie Minogue, Anna Kournikova, etc.) Several TV advertisements promptly took advantage of this trend (e.g. Gillette Venus ladies' razors). The ...

Because Jews suffered their worst national carnage during the Holocaust under the Fascist Nazis and their cohorts during the 20th century, the conflation of Judaism with fascism raises hackles well beyond the conflation of other religions with fascism. Also, because, on the one hand, there is the strong correlation of the religion—Judaism—with what has historically been viewed as a people, a nation, or even a race—the Jews—and on the other hand a substantial portion of the world's Jews today are citizens of the modern state of Israel ...

Paganism, pantheism, Odinism, and groups celebrating the Nordic heroic warrior myths do not automatically intersect with fascism, White supremacy or antisemitism. Examples of groups where fascism and paganism intersect include the White Order of Thule and the Creativity Movement (formerly the World Church of the Creator). While members of the White Order of Thule practice a form of Odinism or Asatru, only a few followers of these pagan beliefs are White supremacist neonazis. Many pagan websites post disclaimers denouncing hate ...

Although the assertion that religious fundamentalists and militants are "fascists" can often be understood as a hyperbolic political attack that uses the term fascism as a political epithet or slur, there are also some scholars who have used the term in discussing certain religious movements. Most scholars consider fascism to be an authoritarian political movement associated with the extreme right. First adopted in Italy during the 1930s, Fascism spread across Europe between World War I and World War II. Neofascism is the term used t ...

To understand how religion and fascism can merge, it is important to see the difference between fascism in state power and fascism as a social movement prior to obtaining state power. Early fascism was a mixture of extreme socialist or syndicalist notions with a Hegelian or idealistic theory of the state; the latter was linked to an extreme nationalism. Both early and later fascism opposed laissez-faire economics and liberal democracy, and viewed the state as an organic entity rather than as an institution to protect collective and individual rights. (Mau ...

The leaders of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in Germany during the early 20th century, according to their private writings, did not wish to encourage paganism of any sort unless it served to further the goals of the NSDAP in promoting their romantic concept and public policy of pan-Germanic ethnic consciousness. Germanic Christianity, however, was officially sanctioned during the Nazi regime. Throughout the Third Reich and the lands that came under Nazi rule, Nazi totalitarianism required that all religious activity conf ...

List was strongly influenced by the Theosophical thought of Madame Blavatsky, which he blended with his own Wotanist religion and Germanic Paganism to develop the direct occult precursor of Nazism. List claimed that the Hermionen mentioned in Tacitus was a Latinized version of the German Armanen, and named his religion the Armanenschaft, which he claimed to be the original religion of the Germanic tribes. His conception of that religion was a form of sun worship, with its priest kings as legendary rulers of ancien ...

The discussion of the existence of various forms of "Islamic fascism" is highly contentious. Critics associate the term "Islamic fascism" or "Islamofascism" with groups of Islamic fundamentalists like the Taliban which governed Afghanistan, al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah. There are no self-identified Islamic fascists, and many Muslims (and some non-Muslims) find this term offensive. "Islamofascism" is a controversial political term. It is a neologism intended to mean "an Islamist form of (neo-)fascism" or, conversely, "a (neo)-Fascist versio ...

Many of the ritual forms of blót - making an offering - and sumble (or symbel)- a ritual of toasting - are discussed under Asatru. Indeed these forms generally serve to separate Germanic/Nordic religion from other pagan and neo-pagan practices. Heathenry is defined, however, as much by worldview and discourse as by specific rituals. The following list is given by Blain (2006, based on 2002a) for this article, from her ethnographic work with today's Heathens, of understandings or discourses of Heathenry that shape what Heathens do. ...

The conversion of Clovis to Roman Catholic Christianity, the religion of the majority of his subjects, strengthened the bonds between his Roman subjects and their Germanic conquerors. However, Bernard Bachrach has argued that this conversion from his Frankish pagan beliefs alienated many of the other Frankish sub-kings, and weakened his military position over the next few years. (Interestingly, the monk Gregory of Tours wrote that the pagan beliefs which Clovis abandoned were in Roman gods such as Jupiter and Mercury, rather than thei ...
