Buddhist
Buddhism is a path of practice and spiritual development leading to insight into the true nature of reality. Recognizing that suffering comes from craving things that are impermanent (including life), and using practical tools like meditation to gain insight and develop compassion and wisdom, we – all of us – can tap into our potential to realize the ultimate goal of enlightenment—that is, being at in harmony and at peace with everything.
Here you will find information, features, expert opinions and more on everything from Buddhist practices and teachings, to what it means to call yourself a Buddhist, to Buddhism’s role in societies around the world, and much more.

Catholic
Welcome to Patheos Catholic, a leading resource for Catholic news, commentary, and culture.
Catholicism is the largest and oldest continuous religious tradition in the world. The liturgy, spirituality, theology, arts, and history of the Catholic Church are an ever ancient and ever new light for nagivating through life toward God. Our writers explore the richness--the truth, beauty, and goodness-- of our religion by addressing the most pressing issues of the day head on. They include nuns, priests, laypeople, homeschoolers, scholars, psychologists, writers, poets, and public servants from both Roman Catholic and Eastern Catholic rites.
Patheos Catholic invites you to be faithfully drawn with us "By the love," as Dante put it, "that moves the sun and the other stars."
Welcome to Patheos Catholic, a leading resource for Catholic news, commentary, and culture.

Hindu
Hinduism is the world’s third largest religion with over 1 million Hindus in the United States alone. Hinduism is not an organized religion and has no single, systematic approach to teaching its values. Yet a common thread among all the variations of Hinduism is the belief in Supreme Being and adherence to certain concepts such as Truth, dharma, and karma. The Vedas (sacred scriptures) serve as the very definition of a Hindu, though how the Vedas are interpreted may vary greatly from person to person.
Here you will find information, features, expert opinions and more on everything from Hindu practices and teachings, to what it means to call yourself a Hindu, to Hinduism’s role in societies around the world, and much more.

New Visions
Patheos New Visions is where you’ll find spiritual practitioners that are, maybe, just a little beyond the edge—pushing the boundaries of current understanding of spirituality. Some are in the New Age and New Thought traditions; some are exploring interspirituality, transpersonal psychology and other alternative approaches to the spiritual journey. New Visions is inevitably diverse, but everyone here shares an openness to new ideas and a common desire to learn from and respect each other. Whether this describes you, or you’re just curious, come on in and look around.

Nonreligious
This is the Nonreligious Channel at Patheos, home of smart, engaging commentary across the full range of freethought.
No single voice can capture the full spectrum of religious disbelief in a world of a billion nonbelievers, so we bring you a chorus of voices from that rapidly growing community. Though all of our writers have walked away from religious belief, no two stories or approaches are alike. You’ll find everything here from interfaith humanists to anti-faith atheists, from the individual to the congregational, from the philosophical to the hilarious. Meet agnostics, atheists, anti-theists, humanists, and “nones,” all exploring their culture, world, and universe from the nonreligious perspective now claimed by one in five Americans.
Living without religion is as old the human mind and as young as the blogs at Patheos Nonreligious. Pull up a chair, and welcome to the conversation!

Pagan
Beyond the Charge and Rede.
Paganism today is constantly evolving and growing. Wicca has evolved into myriad strains, and the broader Pagan movement has built upon and expanded beyond Wicca and Witchcraft. Several Druid traditions are thriving, and the old ceremonial magick lodges like the Golden Dawn and Ordo Templi Orientis have seen a resurgence since their original heydays. The revival of ancient paganism has spurred incredible growth in the Heathen, Hellenic, Celtic Reconstructionism and religio Romana communities. Unbroken traditions of indigenous religions such as Vodou, Santeria, and African Traditional Religions have a voice in the world religious community like never before.
It's a fascinating time to be Pagan. How do Dianic Witches work with Hellenismos polytheists? How do Heathens build community with Druids? Has the time for temples returned? Is practicing magic, or magick, an important part of your Pagan spirituality? Does the strength of our communities lie in our non-traditional forms of organization? How do our theologies embrace gay, lesbian, queer and transgender Pagans? Can a genuinely new Paganism thrive? Is reviving the religions of the ancients even compatible with modern life? How do we create a pluralist community embracing polytheist, animist, pantheist, panentheist, monotheist, duotheist, henotheists and atheist Pagans? How do we express solidarity with Native American spirituality, Hinduism and Shinto without crossing the line of cultural appropriation? Should we raise our children in our faiths, or allow them to choose their own path? Can Pagans evangelize (spread the good news of our traditions) and not prosetylize? Are the terms pagan and witch still useful? How do we overcome the idea that anything "pagan" is morally and ethically bankrupt? How do we make our voices heard as religious minorities?
Here at Patheos Pagan we're committed to exploring diverse views on Paganism in all it's diversity, from British Traditional Witchcraft in Brazil to the thriving communities of the Bay Area and Paganistan to the Mari people of Russia. There are a lot of Pagans out there, and each of them have a wealth of opinions. There is a lot to explore beyond Wicca 101. I hope you join us on the journey!

Progressive Christian
Welcome to the Progressive Christian Channel at Patheos -- host to the conversations that are shaping the future of the Church, and home to the brightest voices from the mainline, progressive and emergent church. We are ministers, professors, scholars, spiritual directors, authors, artists, youth pastors, laypeople, parents and seekers, all longing to express some part of what it is to live faithfully as a Christian in today's rapidly evolving world and religious landscape. Join our conversations on the changing church, transforming theology, spiritual practices and formation, faith and politics, social justice, the Bible, inter-faith dialogue, preaching and teaching, parenting, religion and science, books, movies and pop culture.
Our faith is nothing if it’s not incarnate in the world. We hope the discussions we’re hosting will inspire you to be a more alive and gracious person of faith in this beautiful and broken world. Come with your convictions and your questions, and leave a comment on a blog or article that inspires or challenges you.

Faith and Family
As obvious as it is, the Patheos Faith and Family channel is where we write about faith and family. But it's not obvious how exactly to "do faith and family" in the modern multi-faith world, is it? That's where we come in. Some of us are married with kids, while others love single life. We live alone, with roommates, or in all kinds of families. Some of us earn a paycheck, others stay home with the kids and some manage both. We're deeply faithful, religiously apathetic, or somewhere in between. Despite the differences, we all navigate and juggle the current complicated issues of the world.
We're all different, but we're in this together – no matter what faith tradition you or your family is in, we all strive for generosity, courage, and love. So please, ignore the laundry, reheat the coffee from breakfast, and sit for a while. Being in a family is an important job, after all.
