I'm coming down now. <a href="https://wildhunt.org/2023/12/editorial-the-atlantic-publishes-another-attack-on-pagans-where-are-pagan-voices-in-its-pages.html">The Wild Hunt</a> and <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/panmankey/2023/12/the-return-of-the-pagan-scapegoats/">Jason Mankey</a> both have good responses. FWIW, I plan on writing a <a href="https://support.theatlantic.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011374674-Submit-a-Letter-To-The-Editor">letter to the editor</a> politely (through gritted teeth) suggesting that they talk to actual Pagans about the religion.
