I have been a Pagan for most of my adult life. Although raised a Catholic I never really believed in a supreme being and the whole good vs. evil scenario it espoused was simply too contrived to be real. I studied Gardnerian Wicca briefly and wanted to join a coven because I valued the sense of community it gave me and I found joy in being with those who shared my beliefs. Unfortunately, there is, among many Wiccans, a distaste for our favorite weed and this led me to decide against joining.
